The Daily Mail reported Ryan Brough and Max Tyson were each sentenced to three years and four months.

The Daily Mail, updated Friday, Oct. 30, 2026, reported Ryan Brough and Max Tyson each received three years and four months at Inner London Crown Court after admitting conspiracy to burgle. The same page's headline says the duo was jailed for seven years, and it calls Brough 32. The Metropolitan Police listed him as 34, born Feb. 22, 1992, and put a Bottega Veneta raid on Sloane Street.

Three years and four months each is the term in the Mail's body and in the Met release. The Mail's headline figure of seven years is not that term, and 40 months plus 40 months is six years and eight months. The Met's date of birth for Brough is not an age of 32 in October 2026.

The Daily Mail reported, in a story by Patrick Harrington published at 12:44 EDT on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2026, and updated at 13:06 EDT on Friday, Oct. 30, that Ryan Brough and Max Tyson were each sentenced to three years and four months after admitting conspiracy to burgle over raids between November 2025 and January 2026. A caption on the same page says each was sentenced to 40 months. Three years and four months is 40 months. The updated headline says the duo was jailed for seven years, over a Bottega Veneta raid and £40,000 of designer goods. Seven years is not three years and four months. Forty months plus 40 months is 80 months, which is six years and eight months, not seven. The Mail reported Brough is 32 and Tyson is 26, that both are of Islington, and that both have previous convictions for theft and robbery. It reported they admitted two counts of conspiracy to burgle in relation to five raids between Nov. 11, 2025, and Jan. 24, 2026. It reported the damage to the shops, added to about £500,000 of stolen goods, came to more than £1 million, which it attributed to Inner London Crown Court.

The Mail reported that on Nov. 17 a burglar in a crash helmet took luxury handbags from Bottega Veneta as security fog filled the room, and that the goods were worth £40,000. The updated story does not print a street for that shop. It reported that on Jan. 23 the group used a black Toyota SUV to batter the windows of Yves Saint Laurent on Old Bond Street at 3 a.m., and a caption on the same page says about 2:58 a.m. Three a.m. and 2:58 a.m. are not the same minute. The Mail reported they took leather handbags worth around £30,000 and left after 100 seconds, and that Brough and Tyson were arrested later that day by the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad. It reported an earlier attempt at the same Yves Saint Laurent store, using a Vauxhall Insignia, was abandoned in November when builders nearby spooked them. It reported that on Dec. 16 they reversed a white Mitsubishi SUV into Loro Piana, a short walk from Harrods, and stole goods worth just under £400,000. The Mail reported Harry Johnson, 24, admitted handling stolen goods and was jailed for 22 months. It reported Sonny Stringer, 30, admitted handling designer goods and was sentenced to 22 months, suspended for two years. It reported chef Oliver Ndayizeye, 36, admitted encouraging or assisting an offence by providing his Vauxhall, which the story spelled "Ingisnia," and was sentenced to 36 weeks, suspended for 12 months. A caption on that page says Ndayizeye and Stringer both admitted handling and not participating in the raid, and the Ndayizeye photograph caption says he was jailed for 22 months of immediate custody. The body does not say Ndayizeye admitted handling, and it does not say his sentence was 22 months immediate. The Mail reported defender Patrick Hill said Tyson made a 600-mile round trip in a day to sell stolen goods and paid £1,800 into his bank account. It reported Stringer was jailed for two years in 2024 after using an e-bike to steal 24 phones in one morning. It printed Detective Constable Will Wigzell, of the Flying Squad, on the effect of the robberies on businesses and staff.

The Metropolitan Police, in a release timed 16:50 on Oct. 29, 2026, reported three men were jailed for a combined 8 years and 6 months, and the headline on that release says more than 8 years. The web address of the same release contains the words more than 14 years. Eight years and six months, more than 8 years, and more than 14 years are not the same figure. Three years and four months, plus three years and four months, plus 1 year and 10 months, is 8 years and 6 months. That is the arithmetic of the three immediate terms the release printed. The release said the court heard the damage, alongside the items stolen, came to over £1 million. Over £1 million for damage and stolen goods together is not the Mail's about £500,000 stolen, and it is not the Mail's more than £1 million after adding damage to that £500,000. The release spelled the shops YSL, Bottega Venetta, END, and Lora Piana, and it printed that once inside they would grab what they could carry and then "flea." Venetta is not Veneta. Lora is not Loro. The release reported that on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, they stole more than 105 items worth nearly £385,000, including a coat that cost more than £30,000. Nearly £385,000 is not the Mail's just under £400,000. The release's notes put that Dec. 16 raid at Lora Piana on Sloane Street, the Nov. 17 raid at Bottega Veneta on Sloane Street, a Dec. 1 raid at END Clothing on Broadwick Street, an attempted raid at YSL on Bond Street on Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025, and a YSL raid on Bond Street on Friday, Jan. 23, 2026. Sloane Street, for Bottega Veneta, is the Met's address. The Mail's updated story did not print one. The release reported Max Tyson, 26, date of birth 10.10.00, of St Peters Street, Islington, and Ryan Brough, 34, date of birth 22.02.92, of Courtney Road, Islington, were each jailed for three years and four months after pleading guilty on Friday, May 29, to two counts of conspiracy to commit burglary. The Mail says conspiracy to burgle. Commit burglary and burgle are not the same two words. Feb. 22, 1992, which is the day-month-year date 22.02.92, is an age of 34 in October 2026, not 32. Oct. 10, 2000, which is 10.10.00, is an age of 26. The Mail's updated age for Tyson matches that. The Mail's age for Brough does not match the date of birth. The release reported they were sentenced on Friday, Oct. 29, at Inner London Crown Court. The Mail did not print the May 29 plea date.

The Met release reported Sonny Stringer, 29, date of birth 19.12.96, of Essex Road, Islington, received 22 months suspended for 24 months after pleading guilty to handling stolen goods on Tuesday, June 23. Dec. 19, 1996, is an age of 29 in October 2026, not the Mail's 30. Twenty-four months and the Mail's two years are the same length. The release reported Harry Johnson, 25, date of birth 05.03.01, of Tilney Gardens, Islington, was jailed for 1 year and 10 months after pleading guilty to handling stolen goods on Monday, July 27. One year and 10 months is 22 months, which is the Mail's length. March 5, 2001, is an age of 25 in October 2026, not 24. The release reported Olivier Ndayizeie, 36, date of birth 27.04.90, of Freegrove Road, Islington, received 36 weeks suspended for a year after pleading guilty on Wednesday, Sept. 9, to encouraging or assisting an offence. A year and the Mail's 12 months are the same length. Olivier Ndayizeie and Oliver Ndayizeye are not the same spelling. The release reported DNA at a scene was identified as Tyson's, that one ramming vehicle was insured to Ndayizeie, and that Tyson travelled hundreds of miles to a shop in Cornwall where receipts in his name showed stolen property resold for thousands of pounds, including one sale of £1,800 for items worth more than £30,000. Hundreds of miles to Cornwall, and the Mail's 600-mile round trip with £1,800 paid into a bank account, are not the same sentence. The release reported Tyson and Brough were arrested on Friday, Jan. 23, Stringer on Monday, Jan. 26, and Johnson and Ndayizeie on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The Mail reported the Jan. 23 arrests of Brough and Tyson and did not print Jan. 26 or Feb. 10. Guilty pleas are the convictions on the counts each man admitted. The terms above are the sentences the Mail and the Met release reported. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Trials

By Crime Talk Network Staff Writer

Leeds Crown Court sentenced Louis James to life and Dereck Owusu to 14 years for killing Reece Radford.

Friday's terms are the sentences after the retrial. James was again convicted of murder. Owusu's count changed from murder to manslaughter, and 14 years is not a life sentence. Yorkshire Live said the retrial verdicts came earlier this week and did not print the date. The BBC reported the sentences on Friday and did not date the verdicts.

Jamazea Kittell in a Vallejo courtroom
Trials

By Crime Talk Network Staff Writer

An Alameda County jury convicted Jamazea Kittell of first-degree murder in the shooting of Perez Kalief-Chambers.

Thursday's guilty verdicts are the jury's finding on the Oakland counts. They are not the prison term. The Solano County case, in which Judge Robert Bowers held him for assault with a deadly weapon rather than attempted murder of a police officer, is still pending. Thirty-three, in the conviction coverage, and thirty-one, in the July 2025 charging story, are not the same age.

Najmeh Amini, in a social media image published by The Guardian
Trials

By Crime Talk Network Staff Writer

A Khorasan Razavi court sentenced Najmeh Amini to death over a social media post.

The death sentence is what The Guardian and the Center for Human Rights in Iran reported a trial court imposed. It is not a ruling by Iran's Supreme Court. The Guardian said the sentence remains subject to that appeal. An arrest during January's protests, in The Guardian, and a Feb. 3 arrest at a Mashhad shopping center, in the center's account of the Khorasan newspaper, are not the same arrest. The exact words of the post are not in either story.
