A teenage boy has been banned from #Thurrock as part of his sentence after previously pleading guilty to a number of knife-point robberies at Lakeside Shopping Centre
Following a thorough investigation by officers from Essex Police, the 15-year-old boy from #Southend had no choice but to admit to the offences.
He was sentenced at Southend Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 7 May.
It follows incidents of robbery reported in Lakeside Shopping Centre, West Thurrock, in November and December last year.
Victims were targeted for their phones and clothing. They were approached by the suspect who, as part of a gang, used or threatened violence in order to take the possessions.
During the robberies some of victims were shown a knife and in one incident the defendant punched and threatened to stab the victim if he didn’t hand over his phone.
