What’s been happening? Good news

On the 15th April 2025, officers have successfully executed a warrant authorised by a Magistrate on the back of community intelligence suggesting drug-related activity at an address. Cannabis was found at the address and the offender was dealt with accordingly. Please keep sending in any intelligence so we can continue to target those causing harm to the community.

To further tackle drug-related activity in the area, on the 23rd April 2025, officers stopped a vehicle after they tracked it from Castle Bromwich. A stop and search revealed around twenty bags containing various drugs and he was arrested for Possession with Intent to Supply. The arrested male’s address in Oldbury was searched following the arrest and he was interviewed the following day. An investigation involving Drug Expert Witnesses and Digital Media Investigators now commences.

Officers have this week issued two Community Resolutions for offenders who were apprehended whilst committing shop theft. Both parties have been signposted to relevant support agencies to address any underlying issues.

We have also been continuing our efforts to tackle domestic abuse with two offenders arrested this week. The first was arrested for Criminal Damage and a Breach of a Restraining Order. The second was arrested for Harassment.
