Following the theft of an electric scooter at knifepoint, a man from Nuneaton will now spend the rest of his 20s behind bars.
Cameron Marlow, 24 of Jodrell Street in Nuneaton, has been sentenced to 102 months (eight years and six months) in prison for robbery.
This sentence was extended from a 54-month custodial period to 102 months by the judge.
On 26 June 2024 at around 11:20pm, a man in his late 20s was near the Ropewalk in Nuneaton town centre riding an e-scooter when he was approached by Marlow and another male.
Marlow told the victim to get off his scooter, while reaching into his bag. The second male had pulled a blade from his waistband.
After an altercation and believing that the knife would be used on him, the victim let go of the scooter, and the two males ran off with it.
The scooter was later seen being sold online by a third party, who had purchased it from Marlow in the town centre for £50.
On 11 July, Marlow was located at an address in Attleborough Road, Nuneaton. Officers forced entry to the address and made an arrest.
Marlow was sentenced at Warwick Crown Court on 3 October and is also required to pay a victims’ surcharge of £228.
Investigating officer DC Ward said “Cameron Marlow has thrown away the next eight years of his life for the sake of £50.
“He has attacked someone and taken their property in a senseless act of violence. Marlow will be over 30 when he finally gets free, he will have missed his 20s almost completely.
“Marlow can’t possibly think this was worth it. In eight years, we hope that realisation sinks in properly.”
