Broadhurst, of Providence Place, Stoke; Edgar and his partner Eyres, both of Northumberland Terrace, West Hoe, appeared for sentence after earlier admitting robbery. Bradford, of Octagon Street, was sent into custody for three years for the same offence last year.
But Judge Paul Darlow adjourned the hearing until a date to be fixed. They were released on bail.
David Gittins, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said Eyres had been in a relationship with the victim at school.
He added she called him and asked to come to his home in the city on June 10.
Mr Gittins said they had gone upstairs to listen to music when three masked men burst in.
He added: "They were all variously disguised and two of them were carrying knives. Later a baseball bat was recovered which had been taken from the victim's garage."
Mr Gittins said one man in a black hood demanded money and the teenager handed over £20 from his pocket.
He added: "Two of the men left the room and one of them with a knife waited behind pointing him at the victim. He said the males were in the house for about 40 minutes."
Mr Gittins said the teenager had the "distinct impression" that Eyres knew the men.
The court heard that police were called and quickly rounded up all four defendants.
Edgar also admitted a separate burglary with Bradford on July 25 last year.
Mr Gittins said the pair stole electrical goods and jewellery worth about £20,000 from a house in Yelverton.

“I find it hard to read stories like this. I have 2 sons around that age, and it would break my heart to think they had been tricked and robbed of their belongings, that they worked hard for. HIs parents will also feel this way. I hope he's ok, and although I dont doubt that justice WONT be served, I do believe that what goes around comes around.”
