A MAN accused of robbing two people and attempting to rob a third at gunpoint last year will serve 11 years in prison.

Justice Bernard Turner sentenced Adrian Robinson to 18 years in prison for the gunpoint robberies of Talitha Wallace and Shervone Knowles and the attempted armed robbery of Troy Clarke.

However, in light of Robinson pleading guilty at the first opportunity - and having served five months in custody already - his sentence was reduced to 11 years and seven months.

On July 27, 2017, while armed with a handgun, Robinson robbed Ms Wallace of $5 cash and an iPhone and Ms Knowles of $3 cash and an LG cellular phone.

On August 10, 2017, while armed with a handgun, Robinson attempted to rob Mr Clarke of cash.
