The couple’s home, in the Ongar area of Essex, was entered by a number of men in the early hours of Saturday 2 November 2021.

 

During the incident Mr Cavendish was seriously assaulted and was violently threatened in front of his family.

 

The intruders left with a Louis Vuitton suitcase and two watches.

 

In February, two men, were sentenced to a combined total of 35 years in prison for their parts in the incident. 

 

At that stage, two men who we wanted to speak to as part of our investigation remained outstanding; Jo Jobson and George Goddard. 

 

Yesterday, Monday 5 June, a 26-year-old man was arrested at Chelmsford police station and questioned on suspicion of robbery and GBH.

 

Jo Jobson, 26, of no fixed abode, has been charged with two counts of robbery, both relating to the incident in November 2021, and two counts of attempted GBH relating to a separate incident in July 2022.

 

He is due to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court today, 6 June. 

 

The two men who have been sentenced for their parts are Ali Sesay, 28 of Windsor Road, Croydon and Romario Henry, 31, of Bell Green, London SE26.

 

Detective Chief Inspector Tony Atkin, who has led our investigation, said: “These charges are a significant milestone in this case and further shows our commitment to securing justice for burglary and robbery victims across Essex.

 

“The team’s work will now begin in earnest, again, and we will seek, through colleagues in the Crown Prosecution Service, to present the strongest possible case in court.”

 

DCI Atkin added: “At this stage, George Goddard remains outstanding, and we are continuing our efforts to locate him and I would reiterate my message to him; you cannot stay hidden forever; those who may be helping you cannot help you forever. It is in your best interests to come forward.”
