Fugitives on the Run After Jail Sentence Upped
Kirsty Norris, 32, and David Mercer, 25, from Queensway, Brighton, have gone missing after their suspended jail terms were suddenly slashed to immediate prison time.
From Suspended to Behind Bars
Last October, the pair were sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, suspended for two years, after being convicted of robbery and five counts of fraud. But the Solicitor General stepped in, and the Court of Appeal slammed them with three years’ immediate imprisonment.
Failed to Surrender, Now On The Run
Norris and Mercer were ordered to hand themselves in by 6pm on Thursday, March 12, but they never showed up. Sussex Police are now hunting for the duo.
