Bearded illegal immigrant who 'lied he was 18' when he attacked Wickes worker with spirit level during violent robbery is jailed for four years An illegal immigrant who said he was a teenager when he violently assaulted a worker during a robbery at a branch of Wickes in Berkshire was accused by a judge of lying about his age.
Karandeep Singh, who was jailed this week for almost five years following a trial at Reading crown court, claimed he was only 18 years old when he left a member of staff at the hardware store in Slough with a head wound on May 25 last year.
When Duffy attempted to grab the spirit level, Satwant Singh grabbed him and dragged him outside, where Karandeep Singh hit him in the head with the spirit level, the court heard.
Karandeep Singh said he was aged 19 when he violently assaulted a shop worker during a robbery - a claim that was questioned by Judge Sarah Jane Campbell.
Karandeep Singh failed to turn up for his trial and - after being arrested on a warrant - denied he was the same Karandeep Singh who had been at the Wickes store.
