Police are hunting two men after a stolen BMW smashed into the front of a house - terrifying a resident snoozing on a sofa inside. Officers released CCTV showing two men escaping across the drive of the home after the crash in Chipperfield Road in Bromford just after noon on Monday, April 15.
They were caught on CCTV seconds after the car - thought by West Midlands Police to have been stolen, careered through a post on the drive and hurtled straight into the loung of the home, where Mohammed Ansar Ali, 54,was sleeping.
Passers-by and nearby workers rushed to help Mr Ali. Footage of the crash can be seen here.
