However, McRae was able to intimidate the intruders by yelling, "I have a gun, I have a gun."

Following McRae's firearm statement, Holdrick and his accomplice in wrongdoing left the residence without anything.
Holdrick, who had a short relationship with Hannah Voyan, a member of the The Only Way Is Essex cast, received a life sentence in 2005 for violent robberies targeting a cash transport van and a jewellery store.

Only nine days following the London attack, Holdrick launched another one, in asecond residential break-in where a woman and her daughter were threatened with a firearm, restrained and confronted with aggression.

He returned to the bedroom where he and his partner were residing, secured the door, and instructed Taylor-Joy to conceal herself beneath the bed.
