    A man who assaulted a taxi driver before stealing his phone has been jailed.

    Jordan Roberts, of Bryn Goleu, Southsea, Wrexham, appeared at Mold Crown Court on 25 November where he admitted to robbery.

    In March earlier this year Roberts was a passenger in a taxi near to Rose Hill in Wrexham when he suddenly attacked the taxi driver, punching him to the head and stealing his phone before running away.

    The 27-year-old was located and arrested later that same day.

    He was jailed for four years and two months.

    Detective Constable Harriet Simmons said: “This was a random attack on a person who was just trying to do his job.

    “Violence is never acceptable, and we will continue to pursue anyone inflicting harm and distress in our communities.”
