Patrick Delaney (30), Martin Delaney (29), Kiaron Jones-Hewitt (27), Andy Kiasuka-Kiakanda (26), Cheyenne Cato (27), Ryan Leurs (19) and Steven Barton (20) were sentenced to a combined total of over 100 years for the offences.

"The way this gang targeted their victims and threatened them with weapons during their crime spree was truly shocking and abhorrent," said Detective Sergeant Gary Taylor from the Flying Squad. "The impact these crimes have had on the victims cannot be understated.

"These defendants wrongly thought they wouldn’t be caught. However, Flying Squad officers were able to close the net on these robbers and bring them into custody after a proactive surveillance operation.

"I would like to praise the victims for supporting this prosecution, and I hope these convictions will go some way to giving them some comfort. Across London, officers are working hard to keep the public safe by identifying people involved in serious violence and bringing them to justice."

"Four members of the gang also attempted to rob a car using an iron bar and tried to smash the window. What they didn’t know was that the occupants of the car were undercover police officers running surveillance on the gang’s activity."

Funny how its always an iron bar and not steel eh?
Iron bars are actually fairly thin on the ground nowadays, got to wonder where a the crims find em.
They only seem to exist in news reports.

Yeah, meh. Just for some reason Iron Bars sound dead dramatic but steel doesn't
I'd imagine they both do the same damage were you to get slapped across the back of the lug with either.

4x2 isn't right easy to hold, 2x2 is better to hold onto and you can swipe faster with it.
And whatever you use easy edge is always nicer cos the radiused corners don't give you as many splinters.

And equally importantly, was it actually a rod or shaft and not a bar at all!

I rest my case, your Honour!

Usually down to the mother narrowing down the father to two. Triple barrels have been known down my way.

Hitting people with a piece of rough sawn wood is so council estate.

And you'd have to be good to be successful with a heavy iron rod, you could use it as a poking weapon through a car window but if the other bloke gets out you're only going to have one swing with it and if you miss you're left dealing with the forces of a heavy weight propelling your arm down to the centre of the earth whilst he lands a nice right cross to your jaw.
