Leon Wrigglesworth, 13, and Jay Desborough, now 17, drove off after stealing Rev Irene Wilson’s car, her handbag containing £250 and her laptop.

They pounced on her at Holy Trinity Church in Hull on August 7.

Prosecutor Sally Robinson told the city’s youth court: “This was a shocking attack on a respected community figure.”
