MAN AND WOMAN ARE JAILED FOR ROBBERY OF TAXI DRIVER IN MILTON KEYNES
A woman and a man have been jailed for a robbery in Milton Keynes. Stacey Theobald, 34, of Great Linford was sentenced to six years in prison at Amersham Crown Court on Friday 20 October. A jury found Theobald guilty of one count each of robbery, possession of a bladed article in a public place, and breaching a criminal be- haviour order, as well as two counts of assault on an emergency worker on 27 June after a six-day trial at the same court. Charlie Scheel-Kruger, 29, was sentenced to three years, 10 months in prison at the hearing on Friday. He pleaded guilty to one count of robbery at a hearing on 27 June.
On 29 July 2021, a taxi driver, a man in his sixties, picked up Theobald and Scheel-Kruger and took them to Sandy Close, Great Linford. When they
arrived at around
3.30pm, Theobald threatened the driver with a knife while demanding money. Scheel-Kruger searched the centre console, steal- ing a small amount of cash and the
victim’s taxi ID badge before they all made off. No one was injured. The next day officers attended Theobald’s address in Sandy Close to arrest her for the robbery and she picked up a hammer and threatened the officers. No one was injured and officers arrested Theobald as well as Scheel-Kruger. Officers took Theobald to hospital after she said she was unwell, where she caused damage to hospital property, breaching a criminal behaviour order. DC Lisa McKinley said: “This was a terrifying ordeal for the taxi driver so I am satisfied that Theobald and Scheel-Kruger have been brought to justice.”
TWO DRUNK THUGS WHO BATTERED OLDHAM CABBIE FOR £60 TAKINGS BOTH JAILED FOR 40 MONTHS
Two drunk thugs forced a taxi driver to pull over before launching a brutal attack and robbing him of cash and equipment. Prosecutor, Katy Laverty said that the cabbie picked up Ryan Wynn, 27, (right) and Ellis Mayall, 26, from a cafe in Royton in March. As he drove off, they asked him if he had any change for £50, which he said he didn’t. They then told him to pull up outside a pub. “As soon as he stopped the car, Mayall punched the driver whilst Wynn grabbed him from behind,” Ms Laverty said. “They took £60 as well as a PDR system. “The cabbie sustained cuts and bruises to his lips, as well as a suspected broken nose and was unable to work for two weeks.”

He said in a statement: “I have been a taxi driver since 1989, and I have never been robbed before. "I was left feeling really down and it has made me think about if I want to be a taxi driver any more.” When Mayall was arrested, he told officers to ‘prove it’ as he was cautioned; and when Wynn was caught, officers found a knuckle duster in his coat pocket. They both later admitted being
pleaded guilty to robbery and were jailed on October 6 at Minshull Street Crown Court. Wynn was said to have a previous conviction for driving offences and Mayall was said to be of previous good character. Recorder Joanne Woodward said: “The attack took place at night, in the complainant’s vehicle where he should have been safe and in circumstances where it was extremely difficult for him to make good his escape. “He was left extremely distressed. I have no doubt this incident will play on his mind in the future.” Wynn and Mayall from Royton, were both jailed for 40 months.
