Plymouth pair locked up for 'violent' racial abuse at kebab shop
TWO young men who racially abused staff at a kebab shop have both been sent to a young offenders' institution for four months.
Plymouth Crown Court heard that Adam Peters and Ryan Cork had gone to trial, but changed their pleas after hearing evidence from shop worker Claire Curtis.
Prosecutor Alastair Verheijen said the men, both 20, had gone into Baba's kebab shop in Whitleigh on November 1 last year, but were told it was too late to serve them.
They then unleashed "a torrent of abuse" on Mohammad Farkhondehpour and owner Ali Khosravi, who came downstairs to find cash boxes, menus and food being thrown around.

Peters also climbed on to the counter and threw punches.
Both men were arrested, later admitting causing racially-aggravated fear of violence.
Passing sentence on Peters, of Fort Austin Avenue, Eggbucland, and Cork, of Clifton Place, Greenbank, Recorder Paul Derbyshire said: "You were both the worse for drink, and this was very violent and extremely frightening.
"These men work long hours and provide a valuable service; they deserve our thanks and respect."

“Becki said
"U lot don't no wat happened so u have no right to comment, my brother pleaded guilty to lessen his sentence, people who comment on this r just as bad as thugs"
So by posting this comment, you consider me just as bad as your brother then? I.e a thug.
What a pair of muppets. Deserve every minute of their sentence. Hope they get a hiding every other day whilst inside.”

“Wonder if they are feeling so big and vociferous now ? doubt it cowards when caught are usually
found crying in corners,and once the reason for there arrival in the multi cultural establishment is
known, well doubt if there will be anywhere to hide, frightening times 24/7 for these two louts .
Perhaps they will think before acting in such a thugish way on release,but with people like goldy and beckie supporting them ,I very much doubt it.”

“Goldy said- 'they did not trash the shop, the owners attacked my bois with brooms'..
I go in lots of different shops all the time, but the owners never attack me, so why did the owners of this shop attack the boys?”

“Should have been 12 months at least,do hope the shop owners and staff have got over this violent attack from two racist morons.
And by the sound of it this goldie twerp will soon be joining them ,might just be a chance of further education I suppose.”
