Here is your quick round up from the team as to what’s been happening this past week in Bablake:

Burglary

I am pleased to report that no residential burglaries have been reported. 

Vehicle Crime 

There has been a theft from an Isuzu Pickup on Birmingham Road. Offender(s) has damaged rear doors and stolen a high-powered impact drill. This happened from 10:00 pm on Monday 22nd April to 05:30 am Tuesday 23rd April 2024. 

We urge residents to take the time in marking and registering your property.  Tools and other valuables can be registered for free on the Secure Asset Register. Property which is marked carries a higher risk and is less desirable to thieves. 

Also on Monday 22nd April between 10:15 pm and 11:15 pm a grey Ford Puma was stolen from Rylston Avenue.

If you heard or saw any suspicious activity between the dates and times stated above please let us know.
