Two boys who carjacked a vicar in Hull have been sentenced to 24 months in youth detention.
Leon Wrigglesworth (above right), 13, and Jay Desborough, 17, dragged Rev Irene Wilson out of her car in August after she attended Holy Trinity Church.
A ban on naming the boys was lifted by the court.
The pair also stole her handbag containing £250 and a laptop.
Jay Desborough admitted robbery. Leon Wrigglesworth denied robbery and was found guilty, along with 15 other offences.
Rev Irene Wilson is calling people to pray for the boys.
