Knowle Weekly Update - 27/09/25

Hello, 

This week we were joined by the lovely volunteers of Knowle Streetwatch for a patrol around the key areas of Knowle. The volunteers do a great job every time they put on their Hi-Vis jackets, making their community safer and helping to be our eyes and ears on the streets. If you would like to get involved in the Knowle Streetwatch, get in contact with me – kiah.acton@westmidlands.police.uk

What crime has happened in the last 9 Days?

Crime prevention advice:

We are seeing an increase in vehicle crime all over the rurals, with Knowle being targeted also. Please be aware if you leave your vehicle running, even for a quick trip back inside the house or to post a letter, it only takes a second for someone to jump in and drive away. 

Once again we are reminding everyone the usefulness of Faraday bags and steering wheel locks as extra precautions which could save your vehicle from being taken.

CCTV is a really useful tool for us to use in investigations as it allows us to see the offence happening, any offenders and what they are wearing or a direction of travel in their escape. If you haven’t already, sign up to our CCTV registry to receive alerts when your footage may help us with incidents in your area - CCTV Registry | West Midlands Police 

What are we up to next week?

Follow us on X - @ruralswmp to see what we are getting up to day to day.

Email the team at rural@westmidlands.police.uk for any questions, concerns, advice or engagements.

Thank you for your continued support,
