Police have arrested two people after promptly responding to a carjacking in Birmingham this morning (9 December).
A man and woman were assaulted as a BMW convertible was stolen off Metchley Lane, Harborne, at just before 1.45am.
Officers were quickly in the area and helped bring the vehicle to a stop in Metchley Lane a short time later.
A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of robbery. He has been taken to hospital for assessment and will be questioned in due course.
A 38-year-old woman was also detained for robbery and has been taken into custody.
Fortunately, neither of those from the car were seriously injured.
Vehicle crime remains a priority for us as we do not underestimate the inconvenience and distress having a car stolen causes.
Working closely with neighbouring forces and partners, we have a range of tactics at our disposal to tackle vehicle crime offenders, particularly those who commit crimes on a large scale.
