Armed Robber Behind Spate of Crimes Receives 12-Year Sentence

Crispin Kent, 46, of Alnwick Road, E16, has been sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment for his involvement in a series of armed robberies and a vehicle robbery where he posed as a police officer. The sentencing, which took place at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Thursday, 28 September, followed Kent’s earlier conviction on three counts of armed robbery and one count of robbing a vehicle.

Detective Constable Craig Prout of the Flying Squad stated, “Kent is clearly a violent individual who thinks nothing of getting what he wants, or of the long-lasting impact his offences have had on these innocent victims. They are people who were going about their day as normal, and Kent made them fear for their lives.”
