Justice Update - Tunstall Robber Sentenced to 4 years
A 21-year-old, who robbed a man working in the New Lucky Swallow Chinese takeaway on Paradise Street, has been jailed for four years.
Leon Ali, from Tunstall, and a teenager jumped over the counter of the takeaway and stole a cash box at around 7pm on Friday 8 January this year. The man working in the takeaway was punched and attacked as he tried to stop the offenders when they demanded money.
Officers followed a trail of blood in the snow to Ali’s then home address, and he was arrested at around 9.50pm.
The 17-year-old was arrested at around 11.45pm the same night. He was sentenced to a two year detention and training order.

Just a quick question about the sentence, what is a training order?
An explanation of a DTO is
An explanation of a DTO is shown below:
Youth Justice System
Detention and Training Order
The Detention and Training Order (DTO) sentences a young person to custody. It can be given to 12- to 17-year-olds. The length of the sentence can be between four months and two years. The first half of the sentence is spent in custody while the second half is spent in the community under the supervision of the youth offending team (YOT). The court can require the young person to be on an Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programme (ISSP) as a condition of the community period of the sentence.
A DTO is only given by the courts to young people who represent a high level of risk, have a significant offending history or are persistent offenders and where no other sentence will manage their risks effectively. The seriousness of the offence is always taken into account when a young person is sentenced to a DTO.
