Two men jailed for a total of 11 years for terrorising a family after mistaking their home for a cannabis factory have failed to have their sentences cut at the Court of Appeal.

Luke Jordan, 22, was locked up for six years and Ryan Hanson, 20, for five years by Judge Peter Benson at Bradford Crown Court.

Now judges at the Court of Appeal Criminal Division in London have rejected Hanson’s renewed application to be allowed to appeal and turned down Jordan’s legal bid to reduce his jail term.

The rulings stated that Judge Benson’s sentencing in both cases was correct.

Jordan and Hanson, both of Huddersfield, pleaded guilty to burglary at a house in St Mary’s Mount, Wyke, Bradford. Prosecutor Stephen Wood told the court in September last year that the defendants were part of a four-man gang that intended to raid an unoccupied property being used as a cannabis factory.

They got the wrong house and terrorised a nurse, who was sleeping after a night shift, and her two children.

The naked woman was grabbed by the hair and slapped by an intruder demanding: “Where’s the weed?”

She was pushed on to the bed by the man, who searched a cupboard while her daughter screamed in fear.

The court heard there was no evidence that either Hanson or Jordan was the man in the bedroom but Judge Benson said they were part of a team that planned to invade a house.

He told them: “I appreciate you didn’t deliberately go into that respectable household intending to cause terror – but that is what you did. You both played a full and active role in what was a very serious offence.”
