Dear Bloxwich East Residents,
As our week comes to a close, our team wanted to share a quick update on what your local neighbourhood policing team have been up to. It has been a busy and productive week for the Bloxwich Neighbourhood Team and a challenging time for many of us as we all braved the snow and ice over the past few days.
✅ Good News from Your Local Policing Team ✅
Here’s a snapshot of this week’s activity: This week our team have had 8 arrests. One suspect was arrested for multiple offences including Theft from Motor Vehicle, Theft from Shop, Possession of Cannabis, Breach of Court Conditions, Burglary and Theft from a Dwelling. The offender has been charged and remanded to attend Court for some of these matters. Our Bloxwich Team pursued two males on foot after they made off from a stolen motorbike and discarded a bag full of tools. Both males were detained and arrested for going equipped for stealing and Theft of Motor Vehicle. Our team have been proactive in effecting stop searches and recovering stolen goods from an offence that occurred in Walsall Town Centre. The suspect was arrested for Theft and then charged for this offence.
