Man charged over aggravated burglary

A man has been charged after an aggravated burglary in Newcastle-under-Lyme last month.

Officers attended an address off Blackfriars Road at around 3.40pm on Wednesday (18 May).

A man reported having his wallet and house keys stolen after an offender entered the address.

The victim was left shaken but unhurt.

Following inquiries, a man was located in Birmingham on 31 May.

A 41-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary, robbery, failing to provide a sample for a drugs test and threatening a person with a blade/sharply pointed article in a public place.

Dean Luke Jones, of no-fixed address, has since been charged with the offences.

He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear before court at North Staffordshire Justice Centre today (Thursday 9 June).
