Hobbs later confessed to stealing a bike and shoplifting while in custody. PC Vasko added, “Policing always carries risks. We move towards danger, not away from it. But attacking an officer is plain unacceptable. This sentence sends a clear message that such behaviour won’t be tolerated. I hope it reassures the PCSO involved.”
