team news

Dear resident 

Hope you are all well and having a good start to your week. 

 

Here’s a quick roundup from your local policing team of some of the work we have been doing over the couple of weeks in the Blakenall area.

 

 

  • Joint partnership work with Walsall Housing Group- The team attended a void property in the Stag Hill Road area of Coalpool with housing officers after reports were received of unlawful occupation. When the property was visited, officers found X2 males who were wanted - they were promptly taken into custody.
  • Patrols have continued across the neighbourhood in regards to off road bikes- areas have included The Lea and Swannies Field, Walsall Canal path- Stephenson Ave and Coalpool Lane Park. 
  • The team have met up with the North Family Help Partnership Officers at Blakenall Sure Start Centre- Blakenall Heath, Bloxwich, Walsall WS3 1HJ
  • Officers on the team also have arrested x2 prolific shoplifters over the week (22nd & 26th), both have been remanded in custody until their court dates. 
  • Work has been completed in partnership with the local Walsall probation services.

    Lighter Nights-

     

    As the nights get lighter we understand that more people will likely be out and about later into the evenings. The above actions will continue as we enter the Spring and Summer months. We encourage residents to take steps in securing their home as we adapt to the lighter nights- for example the use of window blinds and anti-snap locks- remembering to be vigilant when going out and not leaving windows open. More advice on crime prevention can be found on the West Midlands Police website.
