SCUMBAGS Couple Jailed for Stealing from Man Dying Outside Dudley Home

A heartless couple have been sent down after being caught stealing from a man as he lay dying on the street in Dudley.

Shocking Theft During Cardiac Arrest

West Midlands Police revealed the grim details. Officers rushed to a man in cardiac arrest outside a Himley Street address at 10.30pm on 15 December 2024.

While paramedics battled to save the victim, Jason Pettit was spotted leaving the scene carrying a green shopping bag. His partner, Jodie Westwood, stood nearby with a backpack.
Westwood, 42, pleaded guilty to theft from a person and received a two-year, five-month sentence.

PC Katie Hadley said: “The acts of Pettit and Westwood were cold-hearted, committing theft when a man needed help.”

“We take a strong stance on burglary and worked hard to piece together this incident. Our thoughts are with those who knew the gentleman. I hope the sentences and time behind bars give them a chance to reflect on their callous acts.”
