A man has been charged with the robbery of a car which left an 82-year-old woman seriously injured.
Billy Eyre, 33, has appeared in court charged with a string of offences related to the incident which closed Blatchington Road, Hove, last week.
June Murdock’s red Honda Jazz was taken at 5.30pm on Monday 12 January.
Sussex Police closed Blatchington Road in the aftermath of the incident and paramedics from the South East Coast Ambulance Service treated her at the scene.
Ms Murdock was taken to hospital for treatment and has since been discharged.
On Thursday 15 January, police spotted her car being driven on the A27. Following a pursuit, the driver was arrested in Lancing after being involved in a minor collision.
Billy Eyre, of Cavendish Place, Eastbourne, appeared at Brighton Magistrates’ Court the same day, charged with robbery.
He was also charged with two counts of driving a vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence, two counts of using a vehicle on the road without insurance and having cannabis.
Eyre has been remanded in custody until his next hearing on Thursday 12 February at Lewes Crown Court.
If this is the “before” picture, I’d like to see the “after” one when news gets out about his callous offending.
Another lowlife pof prowling the streets looking for an essy target. This no good needs to be locked up for a long time.
No doubt inspired by Mark Fry’s constant tirades against the elderly
Needs a serious term of prison sentence but will it happen!!!!!
They need to make an example of this so called man.
