Two teenagers jailed for brazen attempt to steal £15,000 motorbike belonging ... trends now
Two teenagers have been jailed for their brazen attempt to steal a BMW motorbike belonging to a judge from court grounds.
Shay Hollis, 18, and Deon-Dre Rogers-Barrett, 19, both of Enfield in North London, were sentenced in the Wood Green Crown Court today.
The audacious incident took place on April 16, 2021, when the two young men, along with an unidentified suspect, rode into the grounds of Snaresbrook Crown Court on two mopeds.
There, they found a BMW R 1250GS Adventure TE Rallye worth £15,000, and set to work trying to steal it - unaware it belonged to a judge inside the courthouse.
One of the men threatened security who attempted to stop them with a machete, but the plan was foiled when the guards shut the court gates - effectively trapping them inside the grounds.
The trio dumped the bike and abandoned their own mopeds, scaling the fence and fleeing the scene on foot.

The entire incident was captured on CCTV, and police were able to forensically examine the mopeds to help track Rogers-Barrett and Hollis down.
One of the mopeds was also registered and insured to Rogers-Barrett, who called police 90 minutes after the attempted robbery to falsely report it stolen.
He told police he was robbed at knifepoint of the moped and his mobile phone. The same phone was found at his home at the time
