Anti-Social Behaviour- Wyrley View, Goscote Lane

The Blakenall police team have been made aware of issues concerning youths kicking the front doors in and around the Wyrley View estate- Goscote Ln, Bloxwich, Walsall. 

Should a person/s property get damaged this can be classed as criminal damage –

 ‘A person who, without lawful excuse, destroys or damages any property belonging to another, intending to destroy or damage any such property, or being reckless as to whether any such property would be destroyed or damaged.’

Appropriate action will be taken against those responsible for anti-social behaviour and all criminal offences will be dealt with accordingly. 

Should the behaviour be directed at any one address in particular, then this would be dealt with as a  criminal offence- harassment. 

The team have linked in with multiple partners regarding this matter, including Walsall Council and Walsall Housing Group. 

 If you are suffering any issues, then please contact West Midlands Police on 101 or via web chat online at www.west-midlands.police.uk to report any crime or anti-social behaviour. Please note that any information given will be dealt with confidentially. In cases of emergency please call 999. We encourage all calls to be made in the first instance so that the most appropriate response can be allocated to what is being reported. We also encourage residents to keep reporting to their housing associations/landlord and or Council.
