Dudley Teenager Jailed For Gun Threat Robbery

Friday, 25 November 2016 07:00

A Dudley teenager has been jailed for three years and nine months after threatening a man with an imitation gun and stealing his car. He also faces a further year in jail after driving his car at another motorist.

Shakeel Janjua, aged 19, pleaded guilty to robbery and possession of a firearm at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

A Bordesley Green man, aged 33, was threatened with the imitation weapon by Janjua after advertising his red Seat Leon for sale on online trading site Gumtree. He was contacted by what he believed to be prospective buyer on June 26, 2015 and gave out his address via text message.

A short time later three men arrived, including Janjua, apparently to view the vehicle. Janjua produced the imitation firearm and threatened the owner before making off in the Seat. The other two men drove away in the grey Vauxhall Astra they had arrived in.

The owner was left shaken but unhurt.

Unemployed Janjua, of Knowle Hill, Dudley was also sentenced to a further 12 months in prison and banned from driving for six years for trying to run a man over just days later.

On 2 July 2015 he drove directly at a fellow motorist who had got out of his car to remonstrate with him for his reckless driving. The man was thrown into the air in the deliberate collision on Clysedale Road, Quinton. Fortunately he suffered only minor injuries.
