Kurtis Dilks has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted of being part of a four-man gang that broke into the home of former England football Ashley Cole and threatened to cut his fingers off.
Dilks, 35, was last week found guilty of breaking into the ex- Arsenal and Chelsea man’s home alongside three other individuals back on January 21, 2020. A resident of Clifton, Nottinghamshire, the group forced their way into Cole’s Surrey home with a sledgehammer at about 9:30pm and then threatened to remove digits from his hand.
The courier had initially denied three charges of conspiracy to commit burglary, four charges of converting criminal property, three charges of conspiracy to commit robbery and two counts of robbery.
