A balaclava-wearing teenager robbed a boy, aged 16, of an £800 Gucci bag after he spotted him walking alone. Kyle Kaylor, 18, and another man saw the boy from down an alleyway and followed him.
They each put on a balaclava and approached him asking where he was from, before Kaylor, of Trafford, asked for his bag and took it from his shoulder. But the men were caught after deciding to remove their face coverings in full sight of CCTV cameras.
“You acted as a group, you targeted a very young victim and stole high value items,” Recorder Abigail Hudson said. “He was quite right to put up very little resistance, but I accept the violence you used was minimal.”
