Boy, 15 , pleads guilty to robbery as part of Op Revive investigation

In court

13:39 30/04/2021

A 15-year-old Wellingborough boy has pleaded guilty to robbery as part of an Operation Revive investigation.

The robbery happened in Northampton Road, Kettering, just after midnight on Monday, April 26, when a man in his 20s was walking back from hospital, where he had just been treated for a broken hand.

As he walked along the road, he was approached by the boy, who cannot be named due to his age, who threatened him with a knife and demanded he take off his trainers and hand them over.

The man refused at which point the boy grabbed the baseball cap off his head, before the man was able to get away.

The boy was subsequently arrested and charged in connection with the incident and appeared at Northampton Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, April 27, where he pleaded guilty to the offence.

He was remanded into the care of the local authority outside Northamptonshire until sentencing on Tuesday, May 4.

Detective Inspector Dave Harley, said: “People may think it unusual or wrong for us to seek a remand on a child but I want to make it absolutely clear that anyone who commits this sort of violent crime on our patch will feel the full force of the law.

“At the end of the day, our number one priority is to protect the public, and when we have evidence to show an offender, whatever their age, is a serious risk to others, we will take whatever steps are necessary to minimise that risk. And in this case, those necessary steps have been to apply for a remand into custody.

“It is really sad to see people this young being involved in this type of crime and I would implore parents and guardians who are worried about their children being on the periphery of this lifestyle to contact us before it’s too late.”
