Weekly Crime update

Bilston NHT Weekly Update. 

Dear Residents of Bilston and East Park,

Here’s a quick round up as to what your local Neighbourhood team have been getting up to between April 14th to April 19th 2026:

•  Bilston officers have made two arrests over this period, one for assault and the other for theft from shops and stores.

Bilston PCSO’s have held a crime prevention stall in Morrison’s, Black Country route, on Thursday 16th April and have assisted a Street-Watch Walk in the Stowlawn area.

Police officers have enforced a PSPO  beach where a persistent ASB  suspect was interviewed and charge for causing issues on Bentley Bridge Retail Park 

A PSPO is where in this case any people in a group of three or more who appear to be behaving in a anti-social manner, can be asked to leave the designated area (Bentley Bridge) and not return within twenty-four hours. If they do, they can then be referred to the council who can pursue prosecution. 

  Within the Bilston and East Park area, over the last six days there have been no Burglaries, five vehicle crimes and five thefts from shops and stores. 

  We want to ensure all victims are updated and that various methods of policing continue, such as high vis patrol, receiving and using intelligence and arresting offenders to help negate crime. We also ask all of you to please double check your locks and keep vehicles in well-lit areas when you are able. 

Should you know of any information regarding any incidents, please contact us on 999 in an emergency, 101 or via Live chat on https://west-midlands.police.uk/contact-us

Yours sincerely PCSO 31005 Gavin Chandler
