Traveller jailed for knifepoint robbery
 |
| Anthony Joyce |
A TRAVELLER from Oxford who stole a car at knifepoint has been jailed for almost two years.
Anthony Joyce, 21, forced motorist Stuart Johnson out of his Honda Civic after crashing into him on the A4010 near Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire.
Joyce, of Redbridge Hollow, Old Abingdon Road, Oxford, was one of three people in the van and got out to threaten Mr Johnson with a knife.
He was caught after Mr Johnson picked him out in an identity parade.
During a trial at Oxford Crown Court last month, Mr Johnson said the robbery in January 2007 had left him traumatised.
He told the jury: "I think about it every day."
Witness Thomas Baxter also identified Joyce, who denied robbery.
He noticed the van's number plate started with P14, which led police to Joyce.
The court heard only 11 such vans were registered in the Thames Valley, one of which was previously linked to Joyce and was registered at Redbridge Hollow.
Mr Baxter said he was 100 per cent sure one of two men he saw talking to Mr Johnson at the side of the road was Joyce.
The stolen car was found the next day in Milton Keynes, although Joyce's DNA and fingerprints were not found in the vehicle.
Joyce claimed he had been at the Fox and Hounds pub, in Abingdon Road, Oxford, at the time of the robbery and denied involvement.
Judge Julian Hall handed Joyce a 21-month jail sentence at Oxford Crown Court on Friday.

Judging by the happenings on Rose Hill I don't think it will be too long before we hear of the associated family again.

As i posted in previous days story of same incident...
Most of the "travellers" around Oxfordshire are Irish gypsies.
As an Irish citizen myself i hate these people with a passion.
Where i grew up in Ireland, they caused mayhem and suffering to us in the "settled" community on a daily basis.
They are freeloading scum who think society owes them something.
I do think society owes them something...prison.
I think every "traveller" site in the country should be raided and they should be MADE to explain where their posessions have come from.
It is not rocket science....
if you claim benefits how in the name of god can you afford a new vehicle......crime.
Take their vehicle/possessions etc and sell it on behalf of the needy in society.
Stuart Johnson did not deserve what was done to him by this animal.
I would have given this scumbag the electric chair with a dry sponge on his head.

If travellers want to be accepted in the community properly then why don't they behave in a manner which is acceptable. You go to Asda at Wheatley and they walse in as if they own the place. Talk to people in a very rude manner. Stand there opening packs of batteries and robbing the place of meat or whatever they can get away with. Aprroach these people - they'd kife ya as soon as look at them. Kids need to be taught manners from birth then they might get somewhere in life and be [bold]accepted[/bold] .
