The violent robbery took aim at remote Skåne farms in January this year and went so far that the police went out on Facebook and warned of the aggressive robbers.
At the first robbery, in Fuglie outside Trelleborg on January 13, the robbers stated that they wanted to look at an item advertised on the Blocket - a method that was then used for more robberies. Other robberies and robbery attempts took place in Tomelilla, Borrby, Löderup, Högestad and Vollsjö.
At the latter robbery, in Vollsjö on January 30, an elderly couple was subjected to serious violence and the man was beaten and beaten so badly that he lost consciousness. The woman was threatened with a knife to her chest for being forced to open a safe and hand over bank cards and codes.
The prosecution has included three cases of serious robbery, robbery, robbery and attempted robbery, which according to the prosecution were carried out by two men, 25 and 31 years respectively, and a 19-year-old woman. The Prosecutor has assessed that many of the robberies as gross because defenseless people were subjected to severe violence.
Ystad District Court is now sentencing the 31-year-old to six and a half years in prison, while the 25-year-old will receive one year and eight months in prison. The 19-year-old woman is sentenced to three years in prison.
