Terrible twins who attacked man in flat are behind bars again
TWIN brothers who started out on a life of crime aged 13 are back behind bars after forcing their way into a flat to attack a man.
Adam and Corrie Reynolds, along with Mark Bould, were part of a group of four who kicked the door down at the first floor flat in Larkspur Grove, Newcastle.
-
LOCKED UP: Corrie, right, and his twin brother Adam were jailed for 20 months.
It happened almost two years after their mum Julie Morris appeared in The Sentinel to plead for help to stop her sons offending.
The pair have notched up more than 150 offences between them.
Prosecutor Neil Ahuja yesterday told Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court that the gang attack involving the twins started at about at about midnight on September 20.
He said another occupant of the flat escaped via the balcony when he heard the gang coming.
"Four men entered the flat, all shouting at Troy Yeomans.
"One held a screwdriver to his neck and only pulled it away when another told him to.
"They all began to smash the flat up. They assaulted Mr Yeomans.
"He curled himself up on the settee and was approached and punched by various members of the group."
The police arrived and saw the three defendants leaving the flat. The Reynolds brothers were both aggressive to officers.
The pair, aged 23, of London Road, Newcastle, and Bould, aged 31, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to affray.
Bould also admitted a burglary in September. The court heard he burgled his partner's home in Highfield Avenue, Wolstanton, the day after she ended their relationship.
Stuart Muldoon, representing Bould, said the burglary was a mean offence but Bould had been drinking heavily and injecting M-Cat.
He added that when the weapon was produced in the affray, Bould told the person to put it away.
Richard Oldroyd, mitigating for Corrie Reynolds, said his client stayed out the flat for much of the affray, but went in and upturned some furniture towards the end.
Peter McCartney, representing Adam Reynolds, said there is a lack of violent offences on his record.
Recorder Marcus Tregilgas-Davey jailed Bould for 30 months and the Reynolds brothers for 20 months.
He said: "You quite literally kicked the door in.
"One of your number wielded a screwdriver.
"You were so frightening that one of the other occupants ran on to a balcony and climbed down to the ground floor.
"You proceeded to smash the flat up and you punched and kicked the occupant.
"Mr Yeomans seriously thought he was going to be very badly injured because somebody was saying they were going to cut him up.
"It matters not who did what, who had the screwdriver, or who landed the blows, because you were all in it together.
"I take the view this is towards the top end of affrays.
"It was committed at night, in another person's house, you forced your way in, a weapon was involved, you acted as a gang, and there was violence on the occupants."

"twinnys are good regulars here in my burton stores and they put quite a few pints away that day in here, they were blind drunk but no mention of that in court was there"
So you admit to serving customers who you know to be "blind drunk", which is in clear breach of your license? OK...just checking.”

“Oh good. Looks like all sane-minded people on here have decided these two are total scumbag losers destined to spend the rest of their sad little lives in and out of jail. Good to know also that their "supporters" are in a tiny minority and have only succeeded in being laughed off the page.
Not even their parents would have a good word to say for these two, I'm surprised they'd own up to bringing them into the world anyway. I hope the midwife slapped their mother when she had them instead of their two little asses. She certainly did no favours for anybody.”

“How you can even consider two people with over 150 criminal convictions between them good... I'll never know and I doubt Id want know you if that was the case haha.
In America, scummers like this dont even make it to 23 in their criminal careea's. 3 strikes and your out. These would be serving 10 life sentences in America by now.
They look like cranks an all, a good wash wouldnt go a miss.”

“A one off, PigPenGary, can you read, the mother of these two animals expressed concerns about them two ruddy years ago. I know people get blind drunk in you pub mate, but at the very least the landlord needs to stay relatively sober until the doors are locked for the night dude, come on now. By the way, I have come across 150 packs of Pork Chops, 20 good block of cheese that I could repack in to at least 8 portions a block and some very nice Spanish rolling 'bacca, do you think your regulars would be interested.”

“It should be 3rd crime and its hell on earth for them and not short sharp shock but long hard shock, something that will make them thick hard and long before committing another crime. ***** footing don't work, we have tried that and the only people who suffer are the rest of the community. Its not a civilized society if 99% live in fear just to ***** foot with the 1% who chose to be out laws.”
