Carjacker who Tried to Rob Arsenal’s Stars to be in Jail for 10 years

Carjacker who attempted to rob Arsenal footballers Mesut Özil and Sead Kolasinac has been put behind bars.

Ashley Smith, 30, of Archway in north London, was jailed for 10 years at Harrow Crown Court on Friday.

Smith admitted attempting to steal luxury watches worth £200,000 from the pair in Hampstead, north-west London.

A second man, Jordan Northover, 26, has also admitted his role in the robbery.

Northover will be sentenced at a later date.

It will be recalled that a CCTV footage showed Bosnian defender Kolasinac chasing off the two masked attackers on 25 July.

In the video that circulated on social media, 26-year-old Kolasinac is seen fighting off two men who are wielding knives.
