A robber has been jailed after he attacked a 15-year-old boy and stole his £500 bracelet that had been a recent birthday present. Curtis Hodgkinson pushed the boy to the ground and punched him in the face three times before fleeing with the 18 carat gold item.
The attack happened on June 10 at around 6pm on Warren Avenue, Stapleford, while Hodgkinson, of Selside Court, Chilwell, was awaiting sentencing for other matters. Hodgkinson, who was 19 at the time, approached the teenager after getting out of a black Vauxhall Astra.
Nottingham Crown Court heard how Hodgkinson, now 20, was with two friends who laughed as he carried out the unprovoked attack. It left the victim with bruises.
