Two thugs lured a victim with a false Facebook Marketplace advertisement before stealing £3,300 and slashing his dad's arms with a machete.
Jayden O’Donnell, 20, and Keenan Hilditch, 21, posted an ad for an e-bike worth thousands on the popular social media selling platform. But when they met their buyer, Hilditch produced a machete, that was believed to be 12” long, and took both the bike and the money.
The pair appeared at Manchester Crown Court on Friday (December 9), both charged with robbery. Hilditch was also charged with Section 20 assault and possession of a bladed article. They were both handed prison sentences after pleading guilty.
