Armed robber who tied up wealthy CEO's daughter & her mum in terrifying £220k gunpoint raid ordered to pay back tiny sum
A VIOLENT robber who tied up a wealthy CEO's daughter and her mum in a £220,000 gunpoint raid has been ordered to pay back just £26. Emily Aitchison and her mum Kerry were attacked by the robbers posing as cops at their £2.5million home in Sandbanks. 5 5 Ashley Fulton and henchman Aaron Evans burst into the luxury property and bound Kerry, 55, by her hands and feet. When daughter Emily arrived home, the armed robbers dragged her around by her hair and threatened to burn her with an iron. They also chillingly warned the estate agent they would shoot her in front of Kerry unless she opened the family's safe. But brave Emily refused to comply with the thugs' demands and wrongly entered the code twice. She then caused the intruders to flee after telling them putting it in incorrectly a third time would trigger an alarm. The thugs managed to make off more than £200,000 of luxury watches, designer handbags, jewellery, cash and their mobile phones. But Evans has now been ordered to pay back just £26.66 after splurging most of the cash he made from flogging the stolen loot. Bournemouth Crown Court heard Fulton will have to fork out £4,156 to the traumatised family. The Crown Prosecution Service could revisit the order in the future if the criminals come into any more money. Fulton, 43, was jailed for life with a minimum of nine years and 192 days for robbery, possession of an imitation firearm and a string of fraud offences. Evans, also 43, was handed a 12-year jail term for robbery and possession of an imitation firearm. Bournemouth Crown Court heard the horror unfolded on February 21 last year when the pair broke into the home of Mark Aitchison - CEO of Colten Care, which owns 21 care homes in the south of England. Both Kerry and Emily were locked in the toilet as the thieves ransacked the property before escaping. The bungling criminals left behind a trail of clues that enabled police to catch them. Officers discovered their getaway car, which was caught on CCTV, was registered to Fulton's address. When they searched the vehicle, police found DNA on vapes left inside was a match for DNA found inside the ransacked property. Phone records showed Fulton had Googled the exact rare model of Patek Philippe watch they had stolen just two hours after the raid. He had also made online orders for police ID wallets and lanyards that the pair used to trick their way into the Aitchison house. Emily previously told how she was unable to leave the house for six weeks and cried every day for a month following the horror. 5 5 5
