Seaham teens behind bars after 'broad daylight' knifepoint robbery

Two teenagers will spend two years each behind bars after admitting robbing a student in broad daylight last month.

Reece Wilkin and Kieran Marley, both 19, admitted robbing their victim at the entrance to Seaham Town Park shortly after 6pm on April 21 this year. Wilkin also admitted fraud and possession of a knife.

Both were sentenced at Durham Crown Court for the offences. The men are believed to have known their victim, and watched him from a nearby bench before approaching him and threatening him with the knife.
