Crime update 19th to 27th July 2026

Dear Residents,

Here is your crime update for the 19th to the 27th of July 2026.

A Toyota RAV4 was stolen from SEVEN STAR ROAD by offenders using unknown means.

There have not been any burglaries reported to us in the Silhill area in this time period.

Good News!

The team executed a warrant in the early hours last week along with the Operational Support Unit and our Drone teams. The warrant was successful and we walked away with Class B Drugs, and weapons. This is part of an ongoing investigation and further enquires are ongoing. Weapons out of the hands of criminals and drugs off the streets and in police custody is the kind of outcome we all want.

The team have made a number of arrests this past week. The team put one suspect behind a cell door on suspicion of rape and another for possession of a bladed article. These are separate and ongoing enquires which we are proud to assist with.

The team ran a speed operation in a number of locations highlighted as being an issue by the local community. Our PCSO’s were around Seven Star Road and Silhill Hall Road to begin with and ensured that those travelling were doing so at the legal limit ensuing that as the school holidays set in the roads in Solihull are a safer place.

The team hosted a community a meeting at the Damson Pub in Elmdon following concerns raised by members of the local community around some of our local priorities. It was a productive and enjoyable sit down with everyone and I would like to thank those who attended. The same thanks goes out to our dedicated Streetwatch groups who have been out with our PCSO’s patrolling the area.
