Brighton couple given longer sentences for robbing disabled man wanted by police

Kirsty Norris, 32, and David Mercer, 25, were sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, suspended for two years, in October last year, after being found guilty of robbery and five counts of fraud.

But following the Solicitor General’s intervention, the Court of Appeal increased their sentences to three years’ immediate imprisonment.

They were required to hand themselves into police by 6pm on Thursday (March 12), but failed to do so, Sussex Police said.

Anyone who sees them or knows of their whereabouts is asked to report online or call 101 quoting serial 644 of 16/10/18.
