Teenager jailed for attempted armed robbery of Porsche seller in Southwark
Fawaz Oyedeji, 19, was jailed for four years after attempting to steal a £72,000 Porsche Cayenne at gunpoint in Southwark, London. The case highlights the risks of private vehicle sales and the role of CCTV and other evidence in securing his conviction.
Oyedeji arranged to view the car in March last year, then threatened its seller with an imitation firearm and demanded the keys. The seller resisted, and Oyedeji fled; police arrested him at his Greenwich home less than two days later. He was convicted of attempted robbery and possessing an imitation firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence. The Met said it removed 676 firearms and 2,894 knives from the streets last year.
In short
- A 19-year-old was jailed for four years after trying to rob a Porsche seller.
- The £72,000 car was not stolen after the seller resisted.
- CCTV and other evidence helped secure a conviction.
