Leeds teenager robbed victim at knifepoint and told him: '˜I'll find you if you call police'

A teenager has been locked up after he robbed a man at knifepoint and threatened he would find him if he told the police.

Leeds Crown Court heard the victim, Shuway Pang, was walking in Merrion Way, Leeds on the evening of April 12 last year when he heard a male voice ask if he had the time on him.

Rukhshanda Hussain, prosecuting, said when he turned he saw two men. One walked past him while the other, Sean Taylor, told him: “Listen carefully - I need you to give me your money and phone.”

Mr Pang said he could see he had what appeared to be a knife in the robber’s hand, with the handle covered by his sleeve and a two to three inch blade.

He handed over his phone and about £50 in cash but asked if he could keep his wallet and cards. Taylor looked at his identification and gave it back but told him: “If you call the police or cry for help, I’ll find you.”
