Weekly update from the Bushbury and Low Hill neighbourhood policing team Since the 25th March 2025 we have seen a reduction in burglaries within the Bushbury and Low Hill neighbourhood which is extremely positive news, however this does not mean we can become complacent.
If you feel you are aware of any suspicious behaviour or have any concerns in relation to the above message please contact us via 101 or WMPLive Chat. We always recommend reporting via the appropriate channels 999 in an emergency or 101/ live-chat to ensure preventative work can be conducted by your neighbourhood team.
Keep it visible
You’d think that it would be best to make a property less visible from the street, and to keep it hidden from prying eyes behind overgrown bushes, trees, high fences or walls. In reality, all that this serves to do is make it easier for a burglar to get close to a home unnoticed, and provide somewhere to hide while carrying out a burglary or theft from the property.
Lower fences at the front around one-metre high are preferable to high fences as they allow for a clear view over the top and don’t provide cover for anyone wishing to hide. At the rear and sides, taller fencing is recommended to prevent easy access. Trellis, thorny plants, or a suitable anti-climb topping such as plastic spikes make it difficult for anyone climbing over a fence or gate. Planting prickly or barbed shrubbery along boundaries and fence lines acts as an effective natural barrier. Gravel driveways and paths will make sure you hear anyone approach.
Over the past 7 days we have seen an increase in vehicle related crime. As a neighbourhood team we are currently using both officer and community related intelligence to reduce the amount of issues being caused. If you feel you could contribute to this intelligence please don’t hesitate to report it via WMP or Crime Stoppers. The information provided will and can remain completely anonymous.
Theft of motor information:
20/186474/25– VRM YS21OPC Ford Transit
The information you provide can and is paramount to the success of this operation in keeping your community and property safe on the road.
This week neighbourhood PCSO’s have been conducted “Cuppa with a Copper” events across the neighbourhood to increase community engagement and allow members of the public to engage with the local police team.
