A 32-year-old man from Bloxwich, West Midlands, has been charged with several robberies and violent assaults after a string of incidents in the local area.
According to West Midlands Police, Gurkirat Singh faces three counts of robbery and two counts of wounding with intent. He has also been charged with the possession of a bladed weapon in a public place.
The charges follow three separate incidents involving elderly victims that occurred between 11 March and 15 March 2026. The offences took place across Walsall and Wolverhampton, leaving the victims with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
