Knife Threats and Knuckle Duster Punch in Horrific Attack
On 1 June 2019, the duo targeted three teenage boys in Farnham Park. They snatched personal items from two victims and tried to swipe a phone from the third.
During the terrifying ordeal, Presbury held a knife to one boy’s throat while Warwick punched another with a knuckle duster.
Later that day, Presbury tried to evade police in his car, but officers caught up with him. Stolen goods from the robbery were found inside the vehicle.
Both men were also caught with cannabis when arrested and charged on 2 November 2019.
Detective Vows Tough Stance on Knife Crime
“This was a nasty and senseless robbery against three boys, which had a detrimental effect on their mental health,” said Detective Constable Stuart Cook of Amersham police station.
“I hope the length of the sentences will send a powerful message to the public that knife crime will not be tolerated. Thames Valley Police will work tirelessly to bring to justice those that carry weapons in our communities.”
