Barry Sharp, 45, and Gary Thompson, 46, have been jailed for thirteen years and twelve years, respectively, after being convicted of conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary. In November 2018, Sharp and Thompson forced their way into an elderly couple’s home in Fordham, Essex after pretending to deliver a bouquet of flowers. The couple were shocked with a stun gun and the woman was hit in the face with a weighted rope before having her hands tied with cable ties and her head covered up. Her husband was forced to open the couple’s safe after being told she would be raped if he didn’t cooperate. The intruders then fled with cash and jewellery. Mobile phone cell site and automatic number plate recognition camera evidence linked Sharp to the attack, while Thompson’s DNA was found on the cable ties.
