West Midlands Man Jailed Two Years After £16k Jewellery Theft Spree

Nick Dosanjh, a 33-year-old man from the West Midlands, has been sentenced to two years in prison after stealing more than £16,000 worth of jewellery from shops across several locations including West Bromwich, Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield, and Wolverhampton. Dosanjh used a brazen tactic of asking to see jewellery items before fleeing with them, committing nine shop theft offences, eight of which involved jewellery stores. His crime spree began on January 18 and was ultimately ended when he was stopped by traffic officers in Oldbury for driving without a license and insurance, at which point he was also identified as wanted for the thefts. The police were able to link him to the offences through good CCTV footage. In addition to the prison sentence, Dosanjh was fined £300 for the driving violations. Sgt Paul Bishop of West Midlands Police highlighted the methodical nature of Dosanjh's offences and the importance of the CCTV evidence in securing his conviction.
