Teams working to tackle crime and improve safety in Solihull

Our neighbourhood teams have been working to tackle vehicle crime, shop thefts and improve road safety across Solihull.

We've had the Smiths Wood neighbourhood team out in Castle Bromwich to address issues around school parking with four tickets handed out.

Furthermore, the St Alphege team were involved with the Sharmans Cross team in checking speeds on Danford Lane.

Elsewhere, our Shirley officers recovered a stolen car from Streetsbrook Road; while PCSOs from Lyndon, Elmdon, Olton & Silhill (LEOS) found a vehicle which had been taken.

The LEOS team also arrested a suspected shoplifter from the Lyndon area who was charged and remanded.

They also seized a knife as part of their work to ensure the streets are safe.

You may have seen at the weekend how our teams are keeping up the pressure on nuisance and illegal off-road bikes too: Off-road bikes seized in successful operation by Chelmsley Wood officers | West Midlands Police
