3 Chester Co. Armed Robbers, Kidnappers Sentenced To Decades In Prison: DA

WEST CHESTER, PA — Three Chester County men have pleaded guilty to a kidnapping and armed robbery that occurred in 2024.

Coatesville residents Raijon Redd, 31, Steven Pittman Jr., 24, and Brandon Norris, 35, all of Coatesville, entered plea deals.

The incident occurred in Dec. 2024.

The three armed and masked men grabbed the victim from his vehicle, assaulted him, threatened to kill him, and transferred money from his CashApp account, the DA said.

A nearby resident called 911 and the suspects fled the scene as police arrived.

“These co-defendants committed a violent and calculated attack that left the victim fearing for his life," Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe said in a statement. "Today’s guilty pleas and sentences hold these individuals accountable for their actions."

Judge Analisa Sondergaard sentenced Norris to 20 to 40 years, Redd to 15 to 40 years, and Pittman to 5 to 15 years.
