Around 10 minutes later, at 3.35pm, an intruder entered a house on nearby Shottery Grove - threatened the occupant with a screwdriver - and demanded the keys to her car, which she handed over. He then made off in her car.

A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: “Think you can help? If so please call 101 or contact us via LiveChat on our website quoting crime reference 20/293952/24.”
