Robber stole £60 from man as he walked from cash machine while accomplice held his wrists and neck

A robber stole £60 from a man walking back from a cash machine after he and a woman became involved in a scuffle with him. They robbed the man after he refused to hand his money over.

James Campbell, 32, and an accomplice approached Stuart Hornsbury shortly after midnight in Cardiff on September 5 last year. They asked the victim to borrow £10 but he refused. They then approached him a second time after he had been to the cash machine.

A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Monday heard the accomplice grabbed Mr Hornsbury by the wrist and told Campbell to go into his pockets and take the money. The victim tried to resist and there was a struggle between him and the woman and she fell to the floor, which led to Campbell accusing him of hurting her.
