What has been happening? Good news –

Local Neighbourhood team conducted a warrant authorised by a magistrate after we received community intelligence about drug dealing at the property. Inside we found cannabis and the occupants have been dealt with appropriately. 

Local PCSO’s conducted a Police Beat Surgery at Elmwood Family Hub and Cuppa with Copper at Castle Bromwich Gardens respectively. 

One male was arrested for harassment and threats to kill against neighbours in Smithswood. 

We have been continuing our patrols around Kingshurst Park on Marston Drive due to ongoing anti-social behaviour in and around Park. The team have started delivering talks in the local schools to year 5 and 6 this week to educate and encourage awareness around ASB and e-scooters. We have also linked in with the local schools and shops to help identify any of the youths involved. Any youths that are identified as being involved in anti-social behaviour will be dealt with robustly.

If you see any suspicious activity in your areas, please make us aware and we can act upon any information we receive. And, for daily updates kindly follow us on X.com. @SmithswoodWMP
