A schoolboy who violently attacked and robbed an elderly delivery man has been given a four-year suspended sentence. Judge Greally had adjourned the case after hearing evidence in November 2018 and placed Crichlow on a 12-month probation bond. She ordered a report from the Probation Service and said he must engage with the service and not commit further crimes. On Monday Judge Greally noted from the latest probation report that Crichlow had not come “to any significant attention” and was now engaged with the Probation Service. She suspended a four-year sentence for four years on strict conditions including that Crichlow “cease all association with negative peers” and carry out 240 hours community service within 12 months.
