Weekly round-up from your local Neighbourhood Team

Weekly round-up from your local Neighbourhood Team

Dear resident’s

Hope you are all well and having a good week. 

Here’s a quick roundup from your local policing team of some of the work we have been doing over the last few weeks across Blakenall, Leamore, Birchills and Beechdale.

We conducted partnership work with Walsall trading standards in the run up to Bonfire night around local shops in the Blakenall area regarding firework sales and licencing.

The team PCSOs have linked in with take aways and restaurants across the neighbourhood with crime prevention materials during the October half term, specifically regarding Halloween and bonfire night.

The team have linked in with local schools to deliver signs regarding ‘E-scooters’. The signs have been designed and produced in partnership with Walsall Council. 

During recent patrols in the Wyrley View estate off Goscote Lane an E-scooter was seized by the team after being seen being ridden by a child, we remind all parents and guardians that E-scooters are classed as motor vehicles, this means that you must have the relevant insurance, tax, etc for the scooters to be ridden legally around the area.  This is currently impossible- therefore do not open yourself up to potential prosecution.

The team have also been able to identify x4 youths in relation to ASB on the Wyrley View estate regarding persistent door knocking- youths have been spoken to and letters from Walsall Council issued. We understand that this behaviour may seem insignificant to some, but this behaviour can cause people unwanted stress, it is simple to ask that people are not subjected to this behaviour and for everyone to live in peace.

No loiter signs have been put up again in the Hadley Way area of Beechdale in response too Cannabis related ASB. Previously signs have been ripped down by youths- should this happen again; this will be treated as criminal damage. 

The team located and seized a stolen car in the Reaymer Close area – this car had been taken from the Birmingham area. 

Male was arrested for theft related offences around the Jct Leamore Lane - West Street, LEAMORE LANE, WALSALL, WS3 2BJ.
