Fordbridge newsletter

Good morning, Fordbridge residents.

This set, officers continue to patrol your area to provide reassurance to the community, prevent, and to deter crime. The Fordbridge neighbourhood officers held a beat surgery at McDonald’s, 345 Bosworth Drive which saw members of the public come up to ourselves to receive free goodies to help protect their homes and their personal property. Each time we hold a beat surgery, we very much appreciate members of the community attend and communicate with us, so please keep an eye on your e-mails for the next one, and check the Chelmsley Wood Police website to see our upcoming ones. Additionally, this set, our officers have arrested a male for domestic violence offences and he is currently assisting with our enquiries.

Officers have also been in and around the town centre engaging with local shops advising them of the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) that is in place and have been handing out leaflets to the shopkeepers who have been putting the leaflets in their windows in an effort to educate everybody of the PSPO. In addition to this, Solihull Council have put up signs all along the bus interchange to remind people of the PSPO that is in place in an effort to cut down on anti-social behaviour. 

This set, officers have arrested a prolific shoplifter who regularly offends on the town centre, and is currently assisting with our enquiries.
