They hijacked a couple’s car as they were on their way home after Christmas shopping Scunthorpe

Two men who hijacked a couple’s car as they were on their way home after Christmas shopping last year have been sentenced to 12 years each in prison.

The duo travelled from Hull to Francis Street, Scunthorpe, on Wednesday 22 December 2021, entered a bank at 4:00pm and then threatened staff with a machete whilst demanding money. As Pougher and Nicklin fled the scene, they then gained entry to the car of a couple who had stopped at some traffic lights having been Christmas shopping.

Both appeared for sentencing at Grimsby Magistrates Court on Friday 29 October, where her Honour Judge McKone commented: “Both men are dangerous offenders who have still given no thought to the impact of their offending on their victims.”
