Olton WMnow Update

Olton WMnow Update

Good morning everyone, we hope the message find you all well.
The team have been busy this past week, here is your update for the Olton area.
 

Crime Update:
In the early hours of the 20th of September a Black Toyota C-HR Design was stolen whilst locked and secured by unknown means on Braemar Road. The investigation is still underway.
 

On the 26th of September There was an attempted theft of a motor vehicle on St Bernards Road in the early evening whereby two unknown offenders were disturbed while trying to gain entry to a white BMW M3. The offenders made off quickly and the investigation is underway with possible forensic opportunities.
 

Good News:
On Sunday we conducted an ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) targeted operation in support of a wider force operation. Multiple pursuits were conducted where vehicles failed to stop and were pursued, a vehicle was seized for no insurance, and intelligence led to cannabis being seized and the suspect being reported for this offence. Following recent incidents, intelligence, and concerns raised by LEOS residents, we proactively patrolled areas such as Lode Lane, Damson Parkway, Coventry Road, and Gospel Lane. This was a very successful operation following community concerns using targeted ANPR systems and high visibility patrols. Please continue to feedback to local officers your concerns which help inform our activities going forward.
 

A female was arrested on our area after being shown as WANTED for shop theft. She was taken into custody to be presented before the courts today. She has also been served a Community Protection Notice to NOT ENTER a specified area within the LEOS patch. Should she enter this area going forward, she will be arrested. We will not tolerate offending on our patch, including prolific shoplifting offenders. 
 

We have been able to issue a further CPN to a related, and prolific offender targeting businesses in the area. This leaves us is a position where we can arrest some of our most challenging offenders on sight.
 

The team were invited to give a talk at Solihull School this past week to those students due to leave for university in the coming year. We addressed issues that were highlighted as being of concern of leavers and parents alike and were happy to help and grateful for the invite. The team were also welcome to host a Beat Surgery at Elmdon Church this past weekend. We are very grateful for all those who attended and took the opportunity to discuss any concerns they had about the local area. 
 

We look forward to getting in touch again soon with more good news and activity in your area!
