Paul Young Sentenced for Violent Crime Spree

On April 3rd, a 41-year-old man named Paul Young just got hit with a 10-year ten-month

sentence at Birmingham Crown Court on March 26th for a string of violent crimes.

He pleaded guilty to two robberies, five burglaries, one attempted break-in, stealing a car,

and causing serious injury through dangerous driving.

The guy had no fixed address and targeted vulnerable folks without mercy.

It all kicked off on April 5th, 2025, when Young jumped to 78-year-old woman in an alley

on air-shar clothes in Bromford.

He dragged her down, beat her bad enough to shatter her shoulder, and bruised her face

and hips while snatching her purse.

Days later, on the evening of April 10th, he pulled a knife on another woman outside her

Castlevale home and stole her car keys.

Police gave chase right away, but Young blew through a red light and smashed into a 71-year-old

driver's vehicle, leaving the man with broken, bones.

Young tried to bolt from the wreck, but got nabbed on the spot.

Meanwhile, he'd hit five homes and tried a sixth in the Sully Hole area, swiping jewelry,

clothes, and headphones, all caught on CCTV.

Cops called him an opportunistic predator who prayed on the elderly, showing zero care

for public safety during that reckless joyride.

His victims must have been scared out of their minds.

With this long stretch behind bars, Young's off the streets for good, giving everyone

in the West Midlands a real shot at peace.
