Weekly round-up from your local Neighbourhood Team

Dear Residents, 

Please see below some of what has been happening:

 2 offenders were arrested for shop thefts at One-Stop stores.

 Officers have regularly patrolled Mill Race Lane, following reports of anti-social behaviour at the location and will continue to do this going forward, and proactive stop-searches have been carried out.

  Officers have continued to carry out foot and vehicle patrols in Amblecote, particularly around The Bonded Warehouse, Thorns Road, Trinity Road, Withymoor Village and Brettell Lane and Richardson Drive areas due to reports of speeding and off-road bikes and electric scooters at these locations, together with ASB reports.

  Crime prevention drop-in surgeries have been held at Starbucks (within Sainsburys, Turners Lane) and, also Costa Coffee (off Stourbridge Ring Road).  These drop-ins are successful in engaging with members of the local community and establishing concerns.

 A big ‘thank you’ to the lovely Streetwatch Group for their continued support in regularly patrolling their local area, which is helping to deter Anti-Social Behaviour and prevent crime.
