Kymani Goldson, 20, of Vermont Road, Earlsfield received five years and seven months after pleading guilty to two counts of robbery.
Goldson
also pleaded guilty to dangerous driving; driving with no insurance
and possession of a bladed article.
He
will also be banned from driving for 33 months on his release from
prison.
Isleworth
Crown Court heard that at approximately 1.00am on Thursday, August 16
a delivery driver got onto his moped in North End Road, Kensington.
As
he put the key in the ignition, three people on two mopeds drove
past.
The
two mopeds turned around and boxed in the victim.
A
knife was pointed into the victim's back and he was forced off his
bike before Goldson drove off on his moped.
The
victim contacted police and the tracker on the moped was activated.
Twenty
minutes later, a moped courier parked his moped on Mitcham Road near
Tooting Broadway station to collect a food delivery.
As
he went to his moped he was approached by Goldson who threatened him
with a knife and demanded the keys to his moped.
Goldson
drove off with two other moped riders into Longmead Road.
The
victim contacted police and again a tracker on the bike was
activated.
Following
a police vehicle pursuit, Goldson crashed his moped in the vicinity
of Standen Road whilst the other two mopeds drove off.
Goldson
made off on foot but was detained and arrested.
A
large knife was found near to him matching the description given by
the second victim.
Detective
Constable Mark Cooper from the Venice Investigation team said:
"Goldson
identified his victims as courier drivers and targeted them for their
mopeds, using the threat of violence to achieve his aims.
“Both
of the drivers needed their vehicles to work, without which one of
them lost his job as a result."
