Now onto some crimes of note:

Criminal Damage: There have been some recent reports for criminal damage within Bordesley Green. This has included damage to a residence or motor vehicles. Criminal damage is the intentional or reckless damage of property belonging to another person. For local residents of Bordesley Green, we encourage CCTV to be installed at residential properties/dash cams incorporated into vehicles. This allows police to have access to evidence which could lead to the identification of offenders, and increases the likelihood of achieving a positive outcome.

Theft: There have been several reports of theft within Bordesley Green. This has included thefts from vehicles, and from the person. Please ensure that all valuables are stored in safe locations, not left inside a vehicle, as this can attract offenders. Additionally, take the extra time to close bags and zip up pockets as some offenders can easily slip items out without the owner realising. And finally, make sure vehicles are left locked/secured when unattended. 

Please report any suspicious activity to police! If you see someone behaving in an unusual manner, checking multiple vehicle doors or acting suspiciously around homes in your area, please contact the police as soon as you can. 

The Bordesley Green Neighbourhood Team will be planning more events in the near future, and until next time – please keep yourselves safe! Have a lovely weekend.
