Good News: 

On our first shift this set we assisted with detaining and arresting a brazen daytime burglar who had targeted a residential property on Eden Road. Officers from five different teams ended up involved in carrying out the initial investigation and arresting the suspect. The investigation is still underway.

The team spent the weekend heavily involved for a vulnerable and high-risk missing person who was at significant risk of coming to harm if they were not found. Extensive searches and door to door enquires were undertaken all over Solihull trying to locate this person. We were able to breathe a sigh of relief however when the missing person was located safe and well due to the tireless efforts of all the officers involved around 24 hours later. The person is now safely back home with family.

Our team assisted our Firearms colleagues in arresting three males for the possession of bladed articles in the Solihull area following a tip off from a member of the public. Three suspects in cuffs and weapons off the street. None of what we do would be possible without the help you provide us day to day.

The team arrested a wanted thief who was known to target local businesses and was wanted by the Courts for failing to appear. Due to a great spot, the female is now behind bars and retail crime in the area has been positively impacted.

The team also saw a vehicle whilst on patrol that was linked to drug dealing. The vehicle and occupants were searched and although nothing was found, checks showed that the vehicle was last taxed in July 2025! The vehicle was therefore seized.
