BROTHERS Jayzer and Jak Wilkie have been jailed for a combined total of 21 years for offences in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Jayzer Sam Wilkie, 31, of Pallance Road, Northwood, was charged alongside his brother, Jak Dylan Wilkie, 28, of no fixed abode, for an aggravated burglary in Newport and a robbery in Lymington.

The circumstances were that on August 29, 2019, the pair forced entry to an address in Westminster Lane, Newport, and threatened the occupants with knives.

Nothing was stolen during the incident.

At around 7.30am on September 1, 2019, the pair flagged down a Renault Clio on School Lane, Lymington.

The driver, a man in his 30s, was assaulted by both defendants who then stole his car.

They were stopped and arrested by police a short time later before being charged with robbery.

Initially both men denied the burglary, but on February 25 – the first day of their trial – they pleaded guilty at the Isle of Wight Crown Court.

Both had pleaded guilty to the robbery at an earlier Isle of Wight Magistrates’ Court hearing.

They were sentenced on Wednesday to nine-and-a-half years each for the burglaries, and an additional 12 months each for the robbery.
