Drugs Warrant - Norwich Croft

Caught in time as the plants were already harvested and drying ready for supply.

The grower, now arrested, had bypassed the household electricity and had an accomplished set up in one room of the house.

The supply and use of controlled drugs ruins people’s lives. Drugs don’t just affect the users themselves; they have a knock-on effect on others such as family and friends.

Crime is often higher in areas where drugs are being used and there can be a greater problem with Anti-Social Behaviour. This affects the quality of life for law-abiding residents and increases their fear of crime in the area.

Together with our partners, we are determined to reduce drug offending, we cannot do this alone and need your help to make our communities safer. 

We need your help to identify drug dealers and cannabis factories in your area. If you have any information call our central switchboard number -101 - and ask for your local police team or email us on

chelmsleywood@westmidlands.police.uk  Alternatively, you can call CrimeStoppers anonymously 

If someone you know needs help with Drug addiction please reach out to 

SIAS on 0121 301 4141 or enquiries@sias-solihull.org.uk       

 PCSO’s Vicki & Sherjil visited year 5 at St Anne’s to talk about On-Line safety & Cyber-Bullying this week. The year group were very engaging & knowledgeable. 

We also had a fabulous time this week with WMP Cadets. The Chelmsley Wood Cadets accompanied us on a patrol of Lanchester Park, Smith’s Wood. They assisted with a litter pick and weapons sweep of the area, I’m pleased to report no weapons were found but we did pick up gas cannisters near the car park. This information has been forwarded to the Smith’s Wood Team.  

Ooooops in last week’s Newsletter I had an error in the contact email for Cadets, the correct email is liz.curran@westmidlands.police.uk
