Your Weekly Bablake Round Up

Weekly Update from your local Bablake NPT

Dear Members

Here’s your weekly update from myself and the rest of the team.

What’s Been Happening

. Burglaries

Once again ……NONE 😊

. Vehicle Crime

Only one report this past week. A vehicle was stolen from Addison Road. The vehicle was locked and secure so unknown how access was gained.

It’s time to get summer-ready and secure your home, vehicles, and valuables – double checking your windows and doors are locked is key. Never leave your car unattended, running with the AC on, and valuables on show.  

Over the summer, you will see more officers out in our towns and cities, but there are also ways you can help keep your community safe. 

Your CCTV helps us solve real crimes. We are urging local businesses, residents, and community groups to sign up to our CCTV registry online: CCTV Registry | West Midlands Police. It only takes five minutes and can help us bring more opportunistic burglars and thieves to justice. 

You can mark all property with a UV marker making it easier for lost or stolen property to be returned should the worst happen. It is also a good idea to keep a record of where you marked the property and note down any serial numbers. You can register valuables at www.immobilise.com

. In other News

Good start to the week. On our first day back in, two motorbikes, that had been stolen from nearby towns, were found in a shed, partly stripped down. Bikes seized and to be reunited with their rightful owners.

Another prolific shoplifter has been arrested after a short foot chase. Charged and remanded for not 1 but 12 offences. Good result 😊

While officers were out on patrol, a driver decided to jump a red light and race past them. Vehicle stopped and when checked, driver had no insurance!!

Now charged with these offences vehicle seized.

Reminder Put the Date in your Diaries…….. the next Bablake Police and Community Meeting will be held at Allesley Village Hall at 7pm on 6th August.

Please come along and have a chat with your local team. If you have any questions or have any issues you want to make us aware off, this is the perfect opportunity to let us know face to face.

Until next week

Stay safe everyone.
