A teenager has been jailed after two knifepoint robberies. Luke Paterson, 18, made threats with a blade to steal a motorbike and shoulder bag.
Paterson, formerly of Blaenclydach Street in Grangetown, approached a 17-year-old boy on Boxing Day evening last year in South Park Road, Splott. He threatened to stab the boy if he did not hand over his Yamaha motorbike. The bike was stolen and later found damaged.
"Five months earlier, on July 20, a 21-year-old man was set upon in Clifton Street while walking to his girlfriend’s house," said a South Wales Police spokesperson. "He was threatened with a knife for his bag. He suffered a dislocated shoulder, substantial bruising to his face and eye which continues to cause him pain."
