Jo Jobson has been found guilty of robbing Olympic medal-winning cyclist Mark Cavendish and his wife, Peta Todd.
Jobson, 27, is adjudged to have stolen their high-value watches in a knifepoint raid at their Essex home in November 2021. He denied the robbery but was on Monday found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Prosecutor Edward Renvoize told the Crown Court last week that an armed gang including Jobson took two high-value Richard Mille watches which were worth a total of £700,000. The raid took place at around 2:30am two years ago while the Cavendish and his wife’s children were at home.
Jobson faced two robbery charges – one of of having taken a watch, two phones and a safe from cycling legend Cavendish, and the other of stealing a watch, phone and a suitcase from former British glamour model Peta. In February, two other men were jailed at Chelmsford Crown Court for their role in the robbery which took place in Ongar, Essex.
