An altercation followed with an imitation handgun being pressed to the victim’s neck, say police.

The driver was then hit over the head with a metal pole while the Harrisons made demands for his car keys.

During the incident, which happened around midnight on February 7, damage was caused to the victim’s car.

Cameron Harrison, of Green Lane in Wolverton, was sentenced to an 18-month community order after pleading guilty to possessing of an offensive weapon.

Connor Harrison was also found to be in possession of a Stanley knife upon his arrest, which happened later the same day.

He was jailed for three years and ordered to serve an extra three months because he was in breach of an existing suspended sentence.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Siobhan Jones said: “I would like to thank all those colleagues involved in the successful conviction of these offenders and I am pleased the victim can gain some closure from this successful outcome.

“This shows TVP will not tolerate violent offences of this nature and will always work hard to prosecute the offenders who commit these crimes.”
