He said that Peta Cavendish’s phone was found outside the property, and that the “misplacing of that telephone by one of the robbers” was an “error in what was a carefully planned and executed robbery”. He said the “robbers were armed with large knives”, “had concealed their identity with balaclavas” and “meted out violence to Mark Cavendish”. “The assailants ordered that the gates were opened,” he said. The prosecutor said that “rather successful cyclist” Cavendish and his wife Peta, a “successful model and media personality”, were “subjected to a knifepoint robbery in their home at about 2.30 in the morning”. Mr Renvoize said Peta was “asked for the watch” and Cavendish “pointed to his watch on the windowsill”. The prosecutor said Peta “tried to use her phone to call the police”, but an intruder “grabbed the phone”. “She confirmed she hadn’t called the police,” he said. Mr Renvoize said that she got back into the bedroom and Cavendish looked for a “panic alarm that he had”. “She was keeping her three-year-old son under the duvet to prevent him seeing the ordeal in the bedroom.” “There was a safe in the room and he was ordered to open it. He said that Cavendish thought the noise was “male voices and people walking around in the house”. “She ran back up the stairs shouting for her husband to get back into the bedroom.”
