Force Priority - Vehicle Crime
We are currently engaged in tackling vehicle crimes in the Quinton area. We are also working closely with other departments within West Midlands Police and community partners to gather intelligence and target offenders involved in vehicle-related crime.

To tackle vehicle crime effectively, our team is increasing patrols in areas where these incidents have been most prevalent, employing intelligence-led policing to identify patterns of offending.
