A Dudley man wanted for a string of offences including dangerous driving and a serious assault has been arrested and brought to court.

Shakeel Janjua was being searched for by police after he failed to appear in court after being charged with two counts of dangerous driving in December 21 and March 22 and possession with intent to supply drugs in April 2022.
