"Just nine days after the thwarted raid on Ms Taylor-Joy, Holdrick struck again in a second home invasion. Alongside accomplice Ashley Fulton, he disguised himself as a police officer for a raid in Sandbanks, overlooking Poole harbour. During this incident, a woman and her daughter were held at gunpoint, tied up, and threatened with extreme violence, including being burned with an iron and shot dead, if they did not open the family safe."
"Mr McRae barricaded himself and his wife inside their bedroom, armed only with a lamp, as Holdrick and his accomplice tried to prise open the door with a crowbar. The musician managed to scare off the burglars by shouting, "I have a gun, I have a gun", Wood Green Crown Court heard. Holdrick and his partner in crime then fled the home empty-handed."
"The Golden Globe-winning actress, 29, known for her roles in The Queen's Gambit, The Witch, The Menu and Peaky Blinders, was staying at the London property on 12 February 2023 with Mr McRae and his musical partner, Kane Ritchotte, when the break-in occurred at about 1am. They heard glass being smashed in a side door, prompting Mr McRae to investigate."
Kirk Holdrick, 43, and an accomplice forced entry into Anya Taylor-Joy's London home on 12 February 2023. Malcolm McRae barricaded himself and his wife in their bedroom and used a lamp while the intruders attempted to prise the door open with a crowbar. McRae shouted that he had a gun, causing the burglars to flee without taking anything. Holdrick was already serving a life sentence for prior armed robberies and received an additional three-year sentence for this burglary. Nine days later Holdrick and Ashley Fulton disguised themselves as police and carried out a violent home invasion in Sandbanks where victims were held at gunpoint and threatened.
