Local Priority - Vehicle Crime - Nechells

We are aware of an increased pattern of offending for vehicle crime within the Nechells Green area.

The Nechells NHT have engaged with multiple work streams across the community that are designed to reduce the level of vehicle crime.
Numerous vehicles have been seized which have been stolen, uninsured or unroad worthy, some of which you may have seen on our X Page bespoke to Nechells.
This work will continue going through into the Autumn and winter months

The team have been in communities, handing out crime prevention material and devices.

Nechells NHT have understood the seasonal climate change and as such have collaborated with internal departments to recognise patterns of crime and ensure we have police in the right areas at peak times to counteract any potential crime.
Vehicle crime, remains a priority locally and the NHT will ensure plans are in place to reduce and minimise this crime type.
Please be vigilant when parking your vehicle in public spaces and do not leave valuable items on open display.

Vehicle Theft can occur at any point, however of note this has been heightened at weekends, specifically during football matches with AVFC. Not leaving vehicles in a vulnerable position is paramount. Nechells NHT are aware of this issue and are working with our ops department to ensure opportunities to convict offenders are taken and prevent offences being committed

Community Priority - Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) in Tower Blocks

ASB is a growing concern in our local area, impacting the residents quality of life. As a local policing team we acknowledge these ongoing issues and are taking proactive measures through increased patrols alongside local councillors and partner agencies.

We therefore encourage members of the public to report all incidents to identify patterns of behaviour, ensuring every issue is addressed accordingly to create a safer environment and improve our community.

The local team continue to provide patrols in areas that are being heavily impacted. We receive multiple calls for service with ASB type incidents, the development of the local action teams have been helping to respond to calls for service and ensure any crimes identified are investigated thoroughly.

As the summer months are coming to an end, Nechells NPT have been activley combating Anti Social Behaviour within the local community.
A fresh faced look into recording ASB and identifying risk is live and officers have been conducting regular joint patrols with community partners, showing a presence where it is most needed.

Force Priority - Operation Stance

We are currently engaged in tackling the criminality seen at shops on our area, which are leading us to target disruption efforts and enforce legislation to those responsible for owning, managing and utilising these stores.

The Nechells NHT have worked with partners internally and externally to provide enforcement at any shops and businesses conducting unlawful trading within our communities.
Officers have been gathering and sharing information with partners, in view of identifying pro active opportunities for enforcement.
On the 14th October, officers from Nechells excuted a search warrant with HMRC in relation to illegal medicines. We recovered approximately 1.65 million worth of goods, taken off the streets which were causing people harm.
