Investigating officer Detective Constable John Swallow of Milton Keynes Force CID, said: “This was an extremely distressing incident for the victim in which he spent three weeks in hospital.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank him and his family for his bravery during this difficult time.
“The offenders targeted this vulnerable man who suffers from ADHD and autism, they then attempted to cover up their crime by misleading the police during the investigation.
“Tireless work led to Warford and Lowe admitting their guilt, saving the victim from the ordeal of a trial.
“Reports of all crimes of this nature are thoroughly investigated and offenders will be prosecuted through the courts.”
