Weekly round-up from your local Neighbourhood Team

Weekly round-up from your local Neighbourhood Team

Hello everyone,

✅ Good News from Your Local Policing Team ✅

This is a brief message from St Michael’s Team 1 to let you know some of the things we have been doing in your area this week.

This week local officers have supported the Safer Business Action Week 2026, with efforts to prevent, reduce and stop theft from shops and stalls, and Anti social behaviour within Coventry City Centre. As part of the Safer Business Action Week, we have conducted heightened patrols within retail premises. Our officers visited a number of convenience stores and small businesses to encourage them to take part in a survey, which will allow the West Midlands Police to better understand the challenges of retail crime and Anti social behaviour face by these businesses.

St Michael's Officers welcomed the UK State Minister Of State For Policing and Crime Sarah JONES to Coventry City Centre earlier this week. The Minister met with local businesses and Senior Officers to discuss Shoplifting, Rehabilitating Offenders and other forms of Crime Prevention.

St Michael's Officers have arrested a number of offenders this week with varying offences such as Theft and Breaches Of Criminal Behaviour Orders. By arresting these suspects, St Michael's Officers have been able to keep members of the public safe and prevent further harm to City Centre businesses. A prolific offender has received a 12- week custodial sentence for a number of Breaches of Criminal Behaviour Order and Theft offences. 

St Michael's Officers have been working with internal / external departments in both overt and covert patrols in Anti-Social Behaviour Hotspots within Coventry City Centre in efforts to keep the public safe.

Please note that due to the nature of our role as officers, sometimes situations occur that are beyond our control, therefore, if we are not at an advertised event, it is because we were called to an emergency that sometimes does not give us time to contact WM Now and such like to cancel an event.

✅ Crime Prevention Tips:

The National Cycle Database | BikeRegister - Register your Bicycle for free at Bike Register to ensure a greater chance of getting your bicycle back if it's stolen. Register your bicycle's frame number and upload pictures, especially any damage to identify any distinguishing marks.

The National Property Register, for Phones, Gadgets, Bicycles & More... - Register your valuables for free to ensure a greater chance of getting your property back if stolen. From Mobile Phones to laptops, from Consoles to Hair Straighteners, if it has a serial number then it can be registered.

UK's Home for Reporting Cyber Crime & Fraud - Report Fraud - If you become a victim of fraud, contact action fraud to report.

Giving information | Crimestoppers - Use crime stoppers to report crime anonymously.
