County Durham gaming machine bandits back behind bars for targeting Leeds premises

Two game machine bandits from County Durham are now back behind bars after targeting premises in Leeds.

Rhys Stobbart, 27, and Kevin Skelton, 30, were jailed in 2020 after carrying out a string of raids in the North East. And in 2019, the duo were also dealt with for being part of a conspiracy which saw over £4,000 stolen from pubs and social clubs across Tyne and Wear, Durham, Yorkshire and Humberside over more than three years.

As part of their 2019 convictions, Stobbart and Skelton were subject to criminal behaviour orders (CBOs). But the pair were hauled back in front of a judge at Durham Crown Court last week after committing similar offences last year.
