    A teenage robber who carried out a series of attacks against teenage students in Brighouse has been locked up.

    Richard Lee, who was just 18 at the time, was already on bail for offences last October when he confronted another male student at the end of December.

     

    During the early-afternoon incident Lee picked up the complainant’s mobile phone after he hit him, causing the device to fall to the ground.

     

    Prosecutor Robert Galley described how Lee’s victim went after him, but the teenager told him: “I’ve done this before. Every time someone’s got hurt. If you don’t leave I’m going to stab you. I have a knife and won’t hesitate to put it in you.”

     

    Lee produced a knife which left the complainant feeling distressed and shocked.

     

    Lee, now 19, admitted a series of offences of robbery and attempted robbery.

     

    The judge sentenced Lee to 14 months in custody for the attempted robberies and robberies in October, with an additional two years in a young offender institution for the final robbery in December.
