✅ Good News from Your Local Policing Team ✅ Over the past two weeks, all three St Matthew’s Policing Teams have been hard at work. Here is a quick look at what we've been doing to safeguard you and your property. The team have made several arrests over the last couple of weeks including: A male in his 50’s arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs following a foot chase in Walsall Town Centre. Police arrested a male after some excellent communication between CCTV operators and retail radio who directed officers to the male’s location. He was charged with two shop thefts, possession of cannabis and failure to appear in court. A male in his 40s was arrested following enquiries into an assault where a security guard was assaulted in the town centre. St Matthew’s officers arrested a male for drunk & disorderly, possession of cannabis, criminal damage and racially aggravated public order offence from Walsall town centre The teams have also been carrying out a variety of other work and community engagements, including: We joined up with our partners from Trading Standards in an operation to take illegal cigarettes off our streets Officers on patrol located a stolen vehicle. Vehicle was recovered for forensic enquiries before being returned to the rightful owner. Please consider layering up your vehicle security to prevent your vehicle being stolen. Our PCSO’s held several crime prevention surgeries across the ward including at Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Caldmore, Lloyds Bank and the Job Centre in Walsall Town Centre. Lots of people have been given helpful advice and some free security products to help keep themselves safe. Have your say on antisocial behaviour in your community Are off-road bikes a nuisance? Have you got issues with loud or rowdy neighbours on your street? We've launched a new survey in partnership with the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner to capture your thoughts and concerns about antisocial behaviour in your local community. We take antisocial behaviour seriously and it is at the core of our neighbourhood policing activity. We’ve developed a plan to reduce antisocial behaviour for 2026 onwards, and your views are central to helping this plan continue to grow and work effectively for our local communities. The survey will give you the opportunity to share your experiences and ideas to help ensure the plan reflects the needs of your community, and how well we are delivering a service for you. Click here to have your say, complete the survey before 28 February: StreetSafe Help us to make the streets across Walsall safer for everyone by anonymously telling us where you don't feel safe.
