A man has been jailed after he attempted to rob a woman after watching her enter her property alone

Luke Hodgson (25), of Clarence Street, Wath-upon-Dearne was sentenced to 10 years and eight months in prison after appearing at Sheffield Crown Court on Tuesday (31 October).

The court heard how Hodgson knocked on the victimโ€™s door, attempting to stab her with a large kitchen knife when she answered, demanding her car keys.

Detective Constable Jemma King, the officer in charge of this case, said: โ€œThe victim and her husband showed great bravery, managing to push Hodgson out of their home before locking the door. I would like to thank them for their help during our investigation.

โ€œWe are extremely pleased with the sentence that Hodgson received. I hope this sentence shows that any violent behaviour will not be tolerated, and that we will put these criminals behind bars.โ€

Hodgson received an extended sentence of 10 years and eight months for attempted robbery and 12 months for possession of a bladed article. The sentences will run concurrently.
