Elmdon WMNow Update

Good morning everyone,

Here is you update for the Elmdon area.

Crime Update:

In the early hours of the 17th of August a white Toyota Yaris has been stolen from Valley Road in the early hours when offenders have gained entry while it was locked and secured.

In the early hours of the 19th of August a Nissan Navara was stolen from Draycote Close by unknown suspects. The vehicle was later recovered in Birmingham.

In the early hours on the 20th of August a suspicious male was seen on CCTV trying car door handles in the Oaklade Drive and Tait Croft area. Footage has been recovered which is assisting officers in identifying a suspect.

Good News:

A prolific offender targeting our local businesses has been tracked down with the help of some excellent CCTV work and has now been charged and is awaiting a court hearing. One less thief operating in our patch.

The team have been serving Community Protection Warnings to some local Anti-Social Behaviour suspects who have been highlighted to us as being a problem to residents. This warning allows us to ban suspects from a designated area and enforce it if they breach it.

A wanted female was dealt with by our team for several Court warrants after she has evaded police for a considerable period of time. Many hours of work were put in to secure the suspect and ensure that she was dealt with correctly when she was located and arrested.

The team have identified a burglary suspect for an offence in our area and have made a number of arrest attempts around Birmingham trying to locate him, the net is getting tighter as we continue to seek to put him behind bars.

Our regular Street Watch groups have been out once again with the support of our PCSO’s offering a high visibility presence and an opportunity to hear local concerns.

Take care and we will be in touch again soon!
