Pair jailed over knife-point car-jacking

Two men have been jailed for a total of 10 years over a knife-point car-jacking.

Dylan Maskery Hurd, 19, of Abbey Hulton, Stoke-on-Trent, and Callum Talbot, 23, of Featherstone, Staffordshire, attacked a man as he was getting out of a VW Golf in Wombourne, Staffordshire, in September last year.

The pair pleaded guilty to robbery in January and were both sentenced at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Friday.

Talbot was jailed for six years and Maskery Hurd was jailed for four years. Their victim was not seriously injured, police said.

The pair attacked the man after demanding his car keys, which they took from his pocket.

They were riding on a moped when they spotted him getting out of a car, which was later found by police, abandoned, on a car park off Terrace Street in Brierley Hill, near Dudley.
