Attempted robbery of a Porsche Cayenne using an imitation Glock handgun prosecuted by Max Hardy at Inner London Crown Court resulted in conviction after trial and a sentence of 4 years' imprisonment.
Two men attempted the robbery of the Porsche Cayenne of the victim at gunpoint. Fawaz Oyedeji was one of the robbers. His accomplice has not yet been identified. A significant part of the attempted robbery was captured on CCTV footage.
The victim listed a Porsche Cayenne for sale on Autotrader for £72,500. The victim received a message from an apparent purchaser. Fawaz Oyedeji turned up posing as the buyer. The victim gave him access to the front passenger seat and got into the driver’s seat whereupon the defendant pointed a realistic Glock imitation firearm at the victim and demanded the keys. The victim bravely fought off the defendant whose accomplice ran over to intervene. Eventually both robbers fled and the police were called.
The police were able to establish that the defendant was the man with the gun in the footage and he was convicted after trial of attempted robbery and possessing an imitation firearm with intent to commit robbery. He was sentenced to 4 years in prison.
Report and footage of the robbery are available on The Standard
