Charges after earthmover stolen and driven through Wolverhampton

A man has been charged with several offences after an earthmover was stolen and driven through a city centre before going on to a dual carriageway.

The 24-tonne construction vehicle was taken from an address in Staffordshire. Police were alerted after it crossed the border into Wolverhampton just before 17:40 GMT on Saturday evening.

It reached the A4150 dual carriageway, before coming to a stop on New Road, Willenhall, at 20:15.

Darren Coffey, 41, from Sandwell, has been charged with drink-driving, dangerous driving, aggravated vehicle taking, criminal damage and failing to stop. He is due before magistrates in Wolverhampton later.
