Milton Keynes man jailed for 5 years for series of offences in the area
25-year-old Lewis Grant was sentenced last Monday
A 25-year-old from Milton Keynes has been sentenced to 5 years in prison for a string of offences last October in the area.
Lewis Grant, of Barrosa Way, was sentenced following a hearing at Aylesbury Crown Court last Monday (January 8).
In the same hearing he pleaded guilty to multiple counts; one count of robbery, two counts of theft from a shop, two counts of assault by beating, one count of burglary, one count of possession of a knife in a public place and one count of affray.
It follows a series of offences in October 2023 from the 6th to 21st.
Grant stole from JD Sports and ASDA in Bletchley on October 6, followed by an incident on the 20th, where Grant had an argument and made threats to an occupant of a property in Bletchley. A woman tried to calm him down, but she was pushed to the floor and then Grant took her bag.
On the same day, Grant went to the Postal Club, Bletchley, where he attempted to sell the stolen clothing. He was confronted by a man, who he then assaulted, which led to Grant being charged with a second count of assault by beating.
Lastly, on 21 October Grant then went back to the Postal Club and pulled out a knife in front of members of the public. He then threw two glass bottles at patrons in the pub. Grant was charged with possession of a knife and affray in relation to these offences.
Investigating officer, Detective Constable 6328 Grant, said: “I am satisfied that Lewis Grant has been sentenced for his crimes.
“He went on a violent spree intent on taking items from shops and individuals seemingly to then make a profit on the way.
“It was clear if anyone got in his way he was keen to either threaten them or carry out violence against them.
“Thankfully no one was seriously injured by these actions.
“Such behaviour is not acceptable and will not be tolerated by Thames Valley Police and we will investigate thoroughly and make sure people like Lewis Grant face justice through the courts.”
