Man charged with multiple shop thefts in Walsall 

We've charged a man with two shop thefts, assaulting a police officer and possessing drugs following an arrest by Walsall town centre neighbourhood officers.

Officers from our Pleck and Delves neighbourhood team, responded quickly yesterday (Thurs) morning to arrest a man who had allegedly stolen goods from a shop on Broadway, Walsall.

Tobias Gladwin, aged 34, from West Bromwich, was charged and remanded to appear at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court today (Fri) for a first hearing.

He has been charged with theft from a shop on 3 Feb and 20 March, possession of a controlled drug Class B on 20 March and common assault of an officer on 3 February.

He has also been previously charged with 27 shop theft offences across Walsall and the possession of a knife with his court case adjourned until 16 June at Dudley Crown Court.

Our neighbourhood teams and Problem Solving Team have been working hard to apprehend people who carry out shop thefts.

We know the frustration and impact of shop thefts on businesses, and we're running Op Marigold as part of our drive to combat retail crime

The above was a great result for the team, frustration, persistence and as always an element of luck paid off after this offender was caught after persistently targeting a business on our beat.
