Elmdon update

Good evening,

I am very happy to report that we have had no reported burglary’s or car thefts since our last WMnow message. As a team we are still taking proactive steps to prevent such issues in Elmdon and I am pleased to say we are having some kind of positive impact around this type of offending.

Good News:

The team helped locate and arrest a wanted prolific offender targeting retailers in the Solihull area. After a lengthy foot chase and some fence hopping the male was cuffed and hauled off to custody and then before the courts. Officers from three teams all chipped in to bring the wanted male to justice.

The team seized a vehicle believed to be used in a range of serious criminal offences following some keen-eyed proactive work from one of the team. Getting it off the road will be a significant disruption to those wishing to commit crime in the area. A stolen car was also recovered by the team this past weekend which has hopefully made someone’s day to have it back safely.

We would also like to thank everyone who has responded to the Anti-Social Behaviour survey and we look forward to using the information gathered from it to inform future actions to help make residents lives a little safer.

We hope everyone has a good rest of the week and we will be in touch again soon.

Take Care,

PCSO Smith 32125
