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!

Our officers have been out and about as part of County Lines week. They conducted a knife sweep of Elmdon Park and Olton Jubilee Park. Fortunately, no weapons were found. 

Officers also conducted patrols around Solihull Railway Station. No issues to report.

We have also held other patrols with our StreetWatch groups. Thank you to our volunteers.

County lines week

As I mentioned in the good news, it is county lines week. County lines is the name given to drug dealing where organised criminal groups use phone lines to move and supply drugs. They exploit vulnerable people, including children and those with mental health or addiction issues, by recruiting them to distribute the drugs.

We want to stop county lines gangs from operating and exploiting vulnerable people. If you have any information, please let us know via 101 or online Report a crime | West Midlands Police

Alternatively, you can report anonymously on crimestoppers. Independent UK charity taking crime information anonymously | Crimestoppers

You can read more here County lines | West Midlands Police

We hope you enjoy the rest of your week. 

Take care,

PCSO Smith 32125
