Here, a 12-year-old is robbed at knifepoint on a bus in Hylte - a trio of robbers is sentenced

The incident occurred on March 6.

The twelve-year-old victim has said in questioning that he was confronted by the three boys - two 17-year-olds and a 15-year-old - during the journey and that they held out a knife.

They forced him to give up his shoes and keyboard and said things like "do you want to do this violently or easily".

The trio is now being sentenced at Halmstad District Court for robbery.

Since they also said that they would "put a bullet in his forehead" if he were to report a crime, they are also convicted of assault in a court case.

The punishment is youth care for between ten months and one year.

Two deny wrongdoing

A strong piece of evidence in the case is the surveillance footage from the bus that shows pretty much the entire robbery.

Two of the convicts deny the crime, while the third neither denies nor admits to the acts.

The prosecutor considered that the robbery should be assessed as aggravated, but the district court was of a different opinion.
