Silhill Updates

Good evening, 

I am very happy to report that we have had no reported burglary’s or car thefts since our last WMnow message. As a team we are still taking proactive steps to prevent such issues in Silhill and I am pleased to say we are having some kind of positive impact around this type of offending.

Good News:

The team had an early start this past week and conducted three simultaneous warrants at different locations to arrest three prolific and wanted burglars and vehicle thieves. With help from Smith's Wood NHT, Solihull CID, Solihull Offender Management Team, SOCEX and Neighbourhood Crime Team we got hands on with the suspects and got them in handcuffs. All three suspects were charges with a range of offences including burglary, theft of motor vehicle, assaults on Police Officers and drug offences. They were remanded and put before the courts the following day. This wouldn’t have been possible without the tireless work Solihull’s Policing teams and our partners put in everyday to catch offenders who seek to steal from the honest hardworking people of Solihull.

The team were also tasked with tracking down and arresting a wanted high risk domestic violence offender in the local area this week. He was in handcuffs the same day and safely behind a cell door safeguarding the victim from any further harm.

The team assisted our response colleagues in locating and safeguarding a vulnerable missing person in the Olton area. The person was located safe and well and was given the support they needed to ensure they were safeguarded.

Take care,

PCSO Smith
