File Pictures : Winchester,Hamsphire Friday 29th July 2016 Three men have been jailed for a total of 32 years after their armed raid on a jewellers was foiled within minutes by Hampshire officers. David George, 21, of Furzen Crescent, Hatfield, Domingo Nsita, 29, of Windsor Crescent, London, and Joshua Tiloye, 22, of Featherstone Close, Stevenage, all pleaded guilty to the armed robbery of Justice Jewellers, in Parchment Street, Winchester. Today the trio were sentenced at Winchester Crown Court for one count of robbery and one count of possession of an imitation firearm. David George was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Domingo Nsita was sentenced to 12 years for the part he played. Joshua Tiloye was sentenced to 10 years in prison. All three men received five years each for possession of an imitation firearm which will run concurrently. The court heard how the three men had driven to Winchester in a white van on April 15, with two of them, Tiloye and George jumping out wearing motorcycle helmets. They entered the store as the owner was opening up, threatening him with an imitation firearm as they stole thousands of pounds worth of watches and pieces of jewellery. But while they were inside officers were already on their way after members of the public were able to raise the alarm. Within minutes specialist armed officers from the Hampshire and Thames Valley Joint Operations Unit were on scene alongside local teams. Despite attempts by the driver of the van, Nsita, to make a getaway, his escape route was blocked by a bin lorry and officers arrested him. The two inside the store attempted to flee the scene, but with help from members of the public who pointed officers in the right direction, they soon were in custody. All weapons were seized, a gas powered BB gun and a hammer, as well as face masks and all of the jewellery which was taken from the store, which was worth around £200,000. ©UKNIP
