The victim, an 18-year-old man, had just said goodbye to his girlfriend at Durrington railway station, when he was confronted by Turrell and Jestico, who threatened to hit him with a bottle unless he handed over his mobile phone, which he did.

Police arrested the two nearby, and the phone was found in their possession.
