Weekly round-up from your local Neighbourhood Team

Hello Resident,

✅ Good News from Your Local Policing Team ✅

Summary: The Fordbridge officers have been in at Lily's Tea Parlour on the 4th carrying out a Cuppa with a Coppa, which saw many of you come up to us to have a chat, which is what we love to see! Our next one is TBD, keep an eye out on our team page on the West Midlands Police website for the exact date. The team have also placed several suspects under arrest, notably a shoplifter who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was caught by our officers! We have also been addressing ASB concerns by dealing with incidents that come to us, seeing numerous youths dealt with for their unacceptable behaviour. Fordbridge officers have also been out with our street watch team conducting high-visibility patrols in the area of Fordbridge and Chelmsley Wood - our street watch volunteers are fundamental to our efforts to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour, and we thank them wholeheartedly.

📅 Upcoming Police & Community Engagements 📅

Event Name: Cuppa with a Coppa, Lily's Tea Parlour (DATE TBD) - likely to be early next month.

✅ Crime Prevention Tips:

💬To help us combat theft from/of motor vehicle, please make sure your vehicle is locked, secure, and nothing of value is visible from the outside to deter opportunistic offenders from damaging your vehicle in order to get to anything you may have left in view. Prevention is key; steering locks are inexpensive and easily found in local motoring shops, or through a reliable online retailer. You should also place any keyless entry vehicle keys in a faraday pouch in order to prevent relay theft - these are also inexpensive and easily found through online retailers, or at any of our drop-in sessions where we regularly give them out.
