The victim awoke to a man standing over him with a knife, before he was tied up as his home was ransacked.
The suspects have since been jailed for a combined 12 years after admitting to the robbery.
Three men broke into the house in Ashford at around 3am on July 20, 2024, after the victim had fallen asleep on his sofa.
He was threatened and punched while the two other men ransacked the property.
During the ordeal, the victim was repeatedly interrogated about the location of valuables, and his hands were bound with tape.
Despite his injuries, the victim managed to escape the property while the suspects’ backs were turned.
Shortly afterwards, the offenders fled the scene in the victim’s car with multiple items of designer clothing, jewellery, a small quantity of cash and the victim’s mobile phone.
Police identified the suspects’ car travelling from east London into Kent in the early hours of July 20.
Following the offence, the suspects were tracked leaving Kent and returning to London where the vehicle ended its journey at around 4am.
Four men were later arrested and charges including assault, false imprisonment, possession of a weapon were brought against:
- Sukhjeevan Singh, 27, of Gascoyne Road, Hackney.
- Luca Gentry-Prosper, 19, of Ash House, Isle of Dogs.
- Adheem Misson, 20, of Telscombe Cliffs Way in Peacehaven, East Sussex.
A fourth man was de-arrested after it was established that he was not involved.
The three defendants pleaded guilty to the offences and on December 2, Gentry-Prosper and Misson were each sentenced to six years’ imprisonment.
On December 3, Singh received a two-year suspended sentence.
Detective Constable Casey Prior said: “This was a violent attack which left the victim injured and feeling unsafe in his own home.
“Thanks to detailed investigative work, including forensic analysis and vehicle tracking, we were able to arrest those responsible and bring them to justice.”
