Here is your quick round up from me and the rest of the Holbrooks neighbourhood policing team.

Dear Resident,
Here is your quick round up from me and the rest of the Holbrooks neighbourhood policing team.
 
What’s been happening?

This week saw our team take part in another three warrants working with Coventry City Council Safer Housing team. On Wednesday the team accompanied the council officers to three addresses suspected of being illegal HMO (houses in multiple occupancy). At one of the addresses a male was arrested for possession with intent to supply after a large quantity of cannabis was found in the room. Officer entered to find 14 jars, 2 bags and a plastic container all containing cannabis. A set of scales were also found with the jars.

Some of our team have been on operation as part of operation servitor this week. The officers conducted a mix of high visibility and plain clothes patrols. As part of this operation one person was arrested for breach of an order. 

Officers on patrol pulled over this ford transit van. Checks on the vehicle showed it was not insureds. As a result the vehicle was seized and taken away by our recovery agent. 

As part of our day to day activity the team with also carry investigations into crimes such as Theft from shops and stalls (shoplifting), Theft from motor vehicle, Harassment etc. This week has seen a number of offenders identified for some of these crimes. These offenders have then been added to the crime reports allowing officers to conduct arrest attempts for the outstanding suspects.
