Prosecuting, Jonathan Underhill said a fishing pole was also grabbed on entering the property by Lovell and used to threaten the victim and both defendants hit the man, punching him in the head and causing him injury. Mr Underhill said that neighbours heard the men enter the building and went to confront them - preventing them both from leaving before police arrived to arrest them. Both Lovell and Reynolds had numerous previous convictions and Lovell was serving a suspended sentence at the time of the attack.
