Three teenagers charged for knifepoint robberies in Sutton Coldfield

Three teenagers have been charged in connection with knifepoint robberies in Sutton Coldfield. West Midlands Police detained two teens, aged 16 and 19, after a 14-year-old boy was threatened with a knife and had his bike stolen in Newhall Car Park on Monday (16 January).

Ansel Causer, from Sutton Coldfield, and the 16-year-old, who can’t be named due to his age, were remanded to appear before Birmingham Magistrates Court on Wednesday (18 January).

Police also charged Jerimiah Hollinghead-Scott, 18, of Sutton Coldfield, with two counts of robbery and knife possession yesterday (19 January).

It comes after police carried out enquiries around another knifepoint robbery. On that occasion a teenager was threatened with a knife as his bike was stolen in Rectory Park last August.

Following enquiries by the Gangs Team and Robbery Team in Birmingham, Hollinghead-Scott was remanded to appear before court at a later date.
