Foleshill news

Hello, a quick round up from some of the work Foleshill officers have completed this week,

We are still targeting shoplifters committing thefts from our retail parks around the city, officers visited the businesses and spoke with staff to make them aware of their presence, officers also work with site security to recognise persistent offenders to prevent crime before it can be committed. Shoppers and store staff have said the police presence does make a difference to the retail park and makes shoppers feel at safe when they see a police uniform.

After intelligence was gathered officers executed a warrant in the north east for a suspected cannabis factory. 

Our North east priority crime team (PCT) have been busy this week. They have successfully arrested the noth east top offender, this male was wanted for multiple offences and is now in custody, enquiries will be ongoing. PCT officers have also arrested six priory offenders for various offences.  

Now the weather is slightly warmer and the school holidays are upon us our parks that are well used are becoming busier. We have also had officers patrolling our parks and green spaces, this is after concerns over ASB and other issues affecting the community. 

After listening to resident’s concerns officers teamed up with the Coventry City enforcement officers to complete targeted patrols the worst affected areas. 

Streets visited were Stoney Stanton Road, Foleshill Road and cross road area. Some motorists were given words of advice and many other were ticketed.

Our last shop was Churchill Avenue, here the major problem is ‘double parking’ this is not safe and must not be done. Vehicles were ticketed along this road.
