Coventry man jailed for violent Kenilworth robbery

[dutchman]

A young Coventry man who took part in a violent street robbery in Kenilworth after he had already been arrested for instigating an affray at a house in the town has been jailed



Jordan Pye had pleaded guilty to the robbery on a basis that was rejected by a judge at Warwick Crown Court, and also admitted a charge of affray.

Pye (21) of Daventry Road, Coventry, was jailed for a total of two years after the judge gave him a discount to allow for time he had been subject to a curfew while on bail.

One of three other young men in the dock, Caleb Wayou (19) of Yarmouth Green, Coventry, who also admitted the affray, in which he had a knife, was jailed for 12 months, consecutive to a two-year sentence he is already serving for robbery.

But the other two, Kyle Metcalf (22) of Bridgeman Road, Coventry, and Prince Kandemiiri (22) of Queen Margarets Road, Coventry, who denied the affray charge but were convicted after a trial, escaped being jailed.

They were given 12-month community sentences by Recorder Christopher Tickle, who ordered them to do 240 hours of unpaid work each, and for Metcalf to pay £2,500 costs and Kandemiiri to pay £1,000.

Rather lenient sentences. - Tough on knife crime? Bl**dy joke!
