Here’s a quick round up from me of the Binley, Willenhall, Cheylesmore & Earlsdon Neighbourhood Team What’s been happening in Earlsdon?
Here’s a short roundup of our set;

Suspects have made good there escape through the back door in an unknown direction.
Although the team will continue their strategic patrols aimed to prevent and disrupt, there are some things you can also do to deter potential burglars; - Close and lock all doors and windows when leaving your property and overnight. - Secure all outbuildings. - Property, door and window alarms are an effective deterrent. - Physical security measures like extra locks, chain locks, sash locks etc. - Cameras and CCTV. These are not just a deterrent, they also provide us with a line of enquiry in identifying offenders should something happen to your property. - Do not leave valuables in sight when leaving the property and overnight. Close curtains and blinds as opportunistic thieves and burglars may choose to take advantage.

***IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VEHICLES RUNNING UNATTENDED***
Please ensure you remove any items and valuables from your vehicle when leaving, particularly overnight and when in remote locations. Opportunists have no regard for value. In the past we have even seen break ins to vehicles for small change left in the centre console – so please ensure you remove everything. As always, we are looking into a number of lines of enquiry in regards to the crimes mentioned above, including looking at CCTV evidence, Dash Cam footage as well as speaking to key witnesses who may have important and helpful information to assist us. If you have any information regarding the above please don’t hesitate to contact us on 101 or using Live Chat. This can be done anonymously if you wish.
Some security measures you might consider for your vehicles; - Anti-theft screws on VRM plates to prevent them from being removed/stolen. - Remove all belongings from your vehicles including, electronics, valuables and even small change. - Do not keep tools or other valuables inside your vehicle overnight or whilst unattended. - Keep your car keys in a faraday pouch; these prevent the signal being read/cloned/exploited. - A disk lock or crook lock to disable your steering wheel. These are both visual and physical deterrents. - Get a cage fitted around the catalytic converter. - Write on vehicles and valuables with SmartWater. This makes them easily identifiable if stolen and recovered. - Have an immobiliser fitted.

If you see any suspicious behaviour, please report to us via 101, Live Chat, or if an emergency 999.
In regards to off-road bikes, West Midlands Police maintains a stringent policy against the illegal and antisocial use of off-road bikes, prioritising community safety and addressing public concerns. We are regularly organising Targeted Operations and Initiatives, focussing on areas with high reports of illegal off-road bike activity, employing tactics such as surveillance, warrants, and community collaboration. Please continue to report this in as much detail as possible; Location, time, description of the bike(s), description of the rider(s), routes they use to and from the location, any names and addresses if known etc. Photos and videos are ideal (if possible to obtain without putting yourself in danger). This information is key to us as a Neighbourhood Team in building a bigger picture of the problem and tackling these issues through robust enforcement, community engagement, and strategic operations.
PACT Meetings (Police and Communities Together) PACT (Police and Communities Together) is a partnership meeting which gives you the opportunity to regularly meet with your local Neighbourhood Policing Team, local councillors and other local partners, and raise any community issues. We use these meetings to find out what the issues are in the community and to answer questions from residents with the aim to tackle crime and community safety concerns at a local level. These meetings are your opportunity to raise your community priorities and concerns, receive crime prevention advice and receive updates on what the NPT and councillors have been doing to address the priorities and concerns raised at the previous meeting. The meetings provide communities a forum to influence what happens in their neighbourhood and facilitates partnership working between local agencies and residents. These are your opportunities to talk to us about what’s important to you and what’s going on in your area.
Upcoming meetings All meetings will now be added and updated on our website; You can also follow us on our social media channels at @SouthCovWMP As always if you have any information or intelligence you think would be helpful to us, please use either 101 (non-emergency number) or the Live Chat on our website to pass this on to us; https://www.westmidlands.police.uk/ Alternatively, you can also report anonymously via Crimestoppers; https://crimestoppers-uk.org/ Please be reassured we never reveal our sources to subjects when receiving intelligence/information and we rely heavily on members of the public for a lot of our intelligence regarding crimes in your community. If you don’t tell us, we don’t always know. The information and intelligence you give, however small you think it may be, could be the missing piece in a much bigger picture and allow us to take positive action, dealing effectively with the crimes that matter to you.
