Totnes man sentenced for two violent attacks
22-year-old jailed for three years and nine months
A man has been sentenced to three years and nine months behind bars for two violent offences committed four years apart.
Frankie Wall, 22, of no fixed abode but previously from Totnes, was sentenced on 13th January at Plymouth Crown Court after pleading guilty to affray and robbery.
The most recent offence occurred on 26th April 2025 in Totnes when Wall and two accomplices entered a home at night.
They pinned the occupant to his bed, assaulted him, and demanded money before leaving with cash, a phone and tools. During the attack, Wall was armed with a screwdriver. The victim sustained facial injuries.
The court also heard details of a previous attack on 4th April 2021.
Wall and two others had travelled in a black BMW to Dartington Estate, Totnes, where they violently assaulted a man, using keys to punch him and kicking him in the face.
The victim suffered a fractured jaw that required surgery.
For this 2021 attack, Wall was sentenced to a concurrent 16 months in prison.
His co-defendants received suspended sentences last year.
Detective Chief Inspector Becky Davies said: “We welcome the sentence given to Frankie Wall at Plymouth Crown Court.
"Wall launched two separate ferocious attacks on his victims, leaving them with significant facial damage.
"The time between the offences demonstrates that Wall was unable to leave such violent tendencies behind and that he remains a danger to others.
"We hope this sentence shows that such violence will not be tolerated in our community.”
