Good evening Resident
Chelmsley Wood Policing Team, covering Marston Green, Chelmsley Wood & Fordbridge.
Chelmsley Officers have worked really hard alongside staff from One Stop Marston Green to collated the evidence for multiple offences committed by one prolific offender. Hours, of statement taking and CCTV footage viewing, later and this male has been arrested, charged and presented at court this morning. They will return to court next month for sentencing and I will update you then.
PCSO Karen has been tutoring PCSO Rean for the last few weeks and he has now left us to take up his new posting on the Smiths Wood Team covering the Kingshurst area. We wish him well and we hope you give him a warm welcome if you see him around Kingshurst.
I would like to thank Chelmsley Town Parish Council for inviting us to be present at their Residents Hub last Saturday. It was lovely to see so many of you popping in and accessing all the information on offer. We will let you know when the next Residents Hub meeting is being held.
Welcome to those who we signed up to WMNow messaging, please remember to update your profile if you get doorbell and/or house cameras. Occasionally we contact residents who have ticked the CCTV box if we need you to check your footage for us.
Date for your Diary On Monday 13th May myself and a Police Officer will be holding a Cuppa with a Coppa drop in session, at Three Trees Community Hub on Hedingham Grove, Chelmunds Cross B37 7TP between 18:00 – 19:30hrs
Recent Crime 1/4/24 to present time
It is this time off year many of us start tidying our gardens, getting our pedal bikes out and going into our sheds more. Take a look at the below tips for shed security.
SHED SECURITY ALERT Homeowners can reduce the risk of becoming a victim of this type of crime by following these simple and cost-effective measures:
• Put away all tools and equipment. Ensure all outside sheds and store cupboards are securely locked when not in use. • Bring tools inside if you do not have a shed or garage. • Use suitable plants to enhance perimeter protection such as thorny shrubs. • Install outside security lighting, which comes on automatically at dusk. • If you have a burglar alarm why not extend it to cover outbuildings and sheds. • Photograph valuable garden plants or ornaments. • Mark your property with your postcode and house number this makes stolen property easier to trace and it can be positively identified as yours. • Check that your household insurance policy covers theft from your garden and outbuildings. • Regularly check fences and gates are in good repair and check for any overgrown areas where someone could hide • If you have a local Neighbourhood Watch scheme, why not join in? Or start a new one. Take a look at www.ourwatch.org.uk

Let’s hope the weather soon starts to reflect our eagerness to get outside. Stay safe & well PCSO Vicki
