[2001] EWCA Crim 923

A conviction for robbery was quashed and substituted with that of theft where there was no evidence that the victim was put in fear of violence because the threat related to violence on another occasion. A total sentence of seven-and-a-half years' imprisonment was considered excessive when considering the details of the offences and was substituted with five years' imprisonment.
