Two Bexhill men have been jailed and a boy has pleaded guilty to being involved in offences including robbery, assault and theft.
Police said Cameron Skilton, 22, a labourer of London Road, has been jailed for eight years after previously admitting to five charges in relation to two separate incidents in the town.
The first happened on August 18, 2018, when a man was robbed while in his car in Sewell Avenue, Bexhill.
Skilton pleaded guilty to robbery, criminal damage and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
According to officers, he was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment for the robbery and one year for possession of an offensive weapon, to run concurrently.
He was given no separate penalty for the criminal damage offence.
Skilton was also convicted of assault and theft following an attack on a man in Holliers Hill, Bexhill, in May this year (2020).
Police said the victim was walking when he noticed a yellow Audi drive past him several times before stopping nearby.
Three people got out of the vehicle and approached the victim, then attacking him and punching him repeatedly in the face.
Afterwards, the victim noticed his Apple Air Pods and £250 cash were missing from his pocket.
The car was tracked down and stopped by police shortly after where the three suspects were arrested.
For the assault and theft, Skilton was sentenced to two years and four months to run concurrently to the robbery sentence.
Reece Ripley, 20, unemployed, of Glovers Lane, Bexhill, pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment.
A 15-year-old boy who cannot be named for legal reasons pleaded guilty to assault and was given a 12-month referral order.
