Man's motorcycle stolen from garden in armed robbery

Summarised from Hull Daily Mail's report · Updated 5 Nov, 08:36 · Archive

A man was robbed of his motorcycle in his own garden after an attacker threatened to stab his father.

Bobby Gibson, 22, of Woodcock Street in west Hull, admitted robbing a man of his motorcycle in the man's garden in Hessle on 14 August. The victim was parking his blue and white Suzuki motorcycle outside his home at about 7.30pm when Gibson expressed interest in it. As the man wheeled the motorcycle through a side gate, Gibson grabbed the top box and pulled it out of the garden, telling him: 'Leave it, leave it, you'll get another one.'

Gibson threw punches at the man, one of which struck him in the right eye, causing a cut. When the victim's father challenged Gibson, the attacker threatened him, saying: 'You calling the police? I have got a knife. Leave it, leave it or I will f***ing stab you.' As Gibson wheeled the motorcycle away, neighbours challenged him and he dropped it on its side.
