We’ve recovered 50 wraps of drugs and arrested an 18-year-old man as part of Operation Fearless – our major new drive to drive down crime and improve the quality of life for people in Erdington.
The suspect was arrested at an address on Derrydown Close on suspicion of posession with intent to supply class A and B drugs.
A boy aged 13 was also arrested on suspicion of possession of a zombie knife in a private place.
Operation Fearless, which was launched last Tuesday, sees us working with partners such as Birmingham City Council, Transport for West Midlands, immigration and others to tackle crimes that cause the most harm to the community, while working to improve the area for people who live, work and visit.
Det Supt Jim Munro, who oversees Operation Fearless, said: “We’ve had an absolutely fantastic response to Fearless in its first week.
“The community and partners are really getting behind it and supporting our work, and we’re really grateful.”
In the future Fearless will be moving to other areas of the West Midlands to help communities tackle issues there.
