Sandwell neighbourhood teams focus on anti-social behaviour

The last few weeks have seen Sandwell neighbourhood teams tackling local issues such as robbery, burglary and anti-social behaviour.

An off-road bike has been seized by Wednesbury Neighbourhood Team as part of our ongoing commitment to tackle illegal off-road bike activity. Over the past few months, we have held many operations in Sandwell to clamp down on antisocial behaviour.

Two people were arrested by Wednesbury officers on suspicion of shop theft offences, burglary and recall to prison. A third person was arrested after we were called to a theft at a store. We responded within one minute of the call.

Oldbury Neighbourhood Team have held a police surgery with local Neighbourhood Watch members.

Neighbourhood Watch is about people getting together with their neighbours to take action to reduce crime.

It’s a community initiative owned and run by their members which are supported by the police.

Contact your local Neighbourhood Watch Association or scheme coordinator via Home | Neighbourhood Watch | National network | Local Watch areas | Community crime prevention groups (ourwatch.org.uk) for more information.
