A teenager who threatened train passengers with a huge knife has been jailed for five years.

Tyron Franka committed a series of frightening robberies while wearing a skull mask on trains and near stations in the capital.

The 18-year-old from Kenley in Croydon told train passengers on board a Southern Rail train 'you're getting ganked' last November when he robbed them at knife-point.

The following day Franka snatched another person's phone and shouted 'skidaddle before I get a knife out'.

In the same month he targeted two boys while wearing the frightening mask.

He was also caught on CCTV robbing an Armani bag between Purley Oaks and Kenley train stations. He also threatened to stab them.

Detective Sergeant Joanna Montague, of British Transport Police, said: 'Passengers, most of whom were young teenagers, were undoubtedly very intimidated by Franka's actions.

'His behaviour and his reckless decision to carry and threaten people with a knife are all reflected in the severity of his sentence.

'This case is an excellent example of the strength that CCTV plays in bringing offenders to justice.

Franka pleaded guilty to four counts of robbery and possession of an offensive weapon.
