A MASKED thug has been found guilty over a £700,000 knifepoint raid at Mark Cavendish’s home.

The Olympic cyclist had a Rambo blade held to his throat as the robbers targeted his home in Ongar, Essex.

His wife Peta was also threatened with a knife as she desperately tried to hide their son under a duvet.

Jo Jobson was today convicted of two counts of robbery at Chelmsford Crown Court.

The 27-year-old is the third man to be found guilty over the raid in November 2021 after two others were jailed earlier this year.

Jobson had evaded police but handed himself in at Chelmsford Police Station 18 months after he was first identified as a suspect.

The court previously heard how the gang made off with £700,000 worth of goods in the “planned invasion”.

They had stormed the couple’s home – causing Peta to come downstairs to investigate the commotion.

She wept as she revealed how she yelled at her cyclist husband to “get back” as the gang started running towards her.

The former model said Mark was violently attacked by the robbers, who “dragged him from his feet and started punching him”.

Peta added: “One of the men got him in a headlock and one held a large black knife to his throat. It was serrated.

“They said, ‘Where’s the watches‘ and, ‘Do you want me to stab you up in front of your kid?’”

She also told jurors how she shielded their son after seeing the balaclava-clad men during her “worst nightmare”.

The robbers eventually made off with two Richard Mille watches worth £400,000 and £300,000.

They also stole the empty safe, three phones and a Louis Vuitton suitcase.

Ali Sesay, 28, admitted his part in the raid after his DNA was found on Peta’s mobile, which had been snatched and abandoned outside.

Romario Henry, 31, was convicted of two counts of robbery, with the pair caged for a total of 27 years.
