It seems the crime news doesn’t abate at the moment andI do hope this bad patch passes soon – on Monday night I was made aware that last Sunday evening (21st October 2018) a local man was mugged and severely beaten for his iPhone at the bottom of the Black Path near Brownhills Library.

The reader would like to warn others that these muggers are at large, and to appeal for anyone with information to come forward.

They said:

Appeal for information:

My dad was beaten up by three men and had his phone stolen Sunday about 6pm by Brownhills library/medical centre. They ran off up the black path. Did anyone see anything?

If you have any information, or saw anything, please do contact West Midlands Police by dialling 101 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

You can, as always, email me on BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com or give me a shout on social media in total confidence and I’ll pass any information on.

Thank you.
