A man from Leighton Buzzard has been jailed for a robbery in Milton Keynes.
Ashley Mukabeta, aged 19, of Churchill Road, Leighton Buzzard, was sentenced to one year and ten months in a young offender institution at Aylesbury Crown Court on Monday (26/6).
He pleaded guilty to one count each of robbery and possession of a class B drug, namely cannabis.
At around 2pm on 22 February last year, the victim, a man in his teens, was approached by Mukabeta and two other males in an underpass near Winterhill.
The victim was rammed in the back by an e-scooter and was demanded to take off his coat and hand it over along with his bag.
The victim initially said no, but Mukabeta placed his hand towards his pocket, indicating to the victim that he had a knife.
The victim removed his coat and bag and handed them over.
Mukabeta and the two males then walked off back in the direction they had come from.
Mukabeta was charged on 28 December.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Matthew Roberts, based at Aylesbury police station, said: “I am pleased to see a positive result for the victim of this serious crime.
“I hope that this result gives a message to others that the police will look to charge and convict those willing to partake in this level of crime.
“I would like to reassure communities that Thames Valley Police will always look to protect our communities and keep people safe, bringing offenders to justice.”
