A robber who targeted a solicitor as he made his way home from a police station in Oxford had his six-year jail term cut at London's Court of Appeal.

Darren Paul Chambers, 20, of no fixed address but living in Oxford, was jailed at Reading Crown Court in January after he pleaded guilty to robbery.

But Mr Justice Calvert-Smith, sitting with Sir Charles Mantell at London's Appeal Court, cut Chambers' jail term to five years - ruling the original term was "manifestly excessive" bearing in mind Chambers was aged 20.
