A Bloxwich man who allegedly threatened a driving instructor with a pair of scissors has been caught and remanded in custody this week.
The crime sent shockwaves through the community, who took to social media earlier this month to warn others that there was a car-jacker who was allegedly attempting to tie up women to steal their cars.
Paul Nightingale, aged 40 from Stafford Street, has now been charged based on several incidents in Bloxwich, including the scissor incident which took place on December 7 on New Street.
Mr. Nightingale, who has previously been in jail for burglary and aggravated vehicle taking was due to appear at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court on Monday where he is accused of assault with intent to commit robbery, three counts of attempted theft from a shop, theft of a motor vehicle, theft from a motor vehicle and attempted theft of a motor vehicle.
