County Lines

Good morning,

We can all help with protecting people in our community and protecting them from harm, young people are particularly vulnerable.

County Lines in the West Midlands involves a combination of recognising the signs of exploitation, reporting concerns to the Police or specialised services.

Look out for behaviour changes, consistently missing from home/school, being found in unfamiliar or new locations, becoming withdrawn. Unexplained wealth, possessing new clothes, expensive trainers, mobile phones, or large amounts of cash that cannot be accounted for. secretive behaviour, unexplained injuries, associating with older, controlling individuals.

If you are concerned ,early intervention is the key. Do not hesitate to contact the appropriate authorities.

We appreciate help from members of the public to help fight crime. 

Take care and have a good day.
