A waiter has been jailed for robbing a terrified woman at knifepoint – before threatening to hurt her family unless she dropped the case. Sheraz Shafi jumped in the back of the victim’s Range Rover and threatened her with a kitchen knife at Stechford Retail Park on April 27. He shouted: “You’re going to get hurt – do what I say.”
The woman fled the car screaming for help, while Shafi snatched her handbag containing an iPhone, £400 in cash and valuable Asian gold jewellery. He was identified as a waiter working at Washwood Heath US-style diner Rock 66 after police issued CCTV footage.
In a bizarre twist, Shafi then returned some of victim’s belongings by posting her purse and bank cards by through security gates at her home.
