Second suspect in Quatt Robbery arrested

The victim and his wife were left shaken after the incident, which happened at their home in Quatt about 8.40pm on Sunday 20th March.

A warrant was carried out an address in Willenhall, in the West Midlands, on Saturday 26th March, when a woman in her 30s was arrested on suspicion of robbery.

A car was also recovered from the address at the time and submitted for forensic examination.

The second arrest took place on Saturday in the Mosley area of the West Midlands, when a car was stopped by police and a man in his 20s was taken into custody, also on suspicion of robbery.

Both he and the woman have been interviewed and released on police bail pending further enquiries.

The elderly male victim was left with a head injury following the incident, in which three men are reported to have knocked on the door of the home he shares with his wife before forcing their way inside.

Items of jewellery were stolen before the men made off at speed in a vehicle, which had been parked nearby, towards Bridgnorth.

Acting Detective Sergeant Oliver Ewels, who is leading the investigation, today also renewed an appeal for anyone who might have seen suspicious activity in the Quatt area at the time or in the days leading up to the robbery to get in touch.

“Although this happened over two weeks ago now, I urge people who were in that area during that weekend to think back to anything or anyone that might have seemed out of place,” he said.

“Police are following up a number of lines of enquiry as part of the investigation and two people have been arrested to date.

“If anyone has any information, no matter how insignificant they might consider it to be, which could be relevant to our investigation, please contact Bridgnorth CID on 0300 333 3000.”

Information can also be passed on anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where a reward is sometimes offered.
