Two 18 year-olds and a 19 year-old have been jailed for a knifepoint robbery in Keighley in April.

A 57 year-old vulnerable man was held at knifepoint at a flat on Aireville Road, before the three male suspects stole a TV.

They were given sentences of between two and eight years.

19 year-old Mohammed Fellows was jailed for 8 years; 18 year-old Byron Bell jailed for 7 years and 4 months and 18 year-old Liam Karolyi jailed for 2 years and nine months.

Detective Inspector Suzanne Hall, of Bradford District CID, said: “We are pleased with the result and the sentence which has been handed down to all three of these defendants.

“They targeted a vulnerable adult in his own home and subjected him to a terrifying ordeal, threatening him with a knife and stealing his property. The victim was left incredibly distressed as a result of the incident.

“Any incidents involving weapons and knives are dealt with robustly by West Yorkshire Police and we are committed to ensuring the perpetrators are brought to justice.”
