We've charged a man with a series of burglaries and vehicle thefts that took place across Dudley earlier this year.

Between January and March, we dealt with four burglaries and eight theft of motor vehicles across the borough. Following an extensive investigation, we arrested a man yesterday (29 April).

Malakhi Ward aged 19, has been charged with 16 counts of burglary and theft of motor vehicles and was remanded to appear before Wolverhampton Magistrates Court today.
