Weekly round-up from your local Neighbourhood Team

Hello readers,

✅ Good News from Your Local Policing Team ✅

This week Bordesley Green Neighbourhood have made arrests, stop and searched individuals involved in drug related crimes, attended school inputs and did a crime prevention surgery at ASDA giving out useful equipment to keep you safe.

On Monday 19th January 2026, officers did a show and tell at Waverley showing children the police van and their equipment. Officers engaged with residents on Pretoria Road, discussing road specific issues and also conducted a joint visit with RSPCA to a address we had welfare concerns over regarding animals. 

On Tuesday 20th January 2026, officers did a input at StarBank School discussing safe strangers learning how to stay safe, recognise trusted adults and what to do if they feel worried. Officers also engaged with residents on Botha Road, discussing any concerns they have for their road. Officers arrested an individual regarding one of their on-going investigations and dealt accordingly. 

On Wednesday 21st January 2026, officers went out conducting arrest attempts where two individuals were arrested. Other officers did a check in with McDonalds Belchers Lane discussing issues there and offering reassurance. 

On Thursday 22nd January 2026, officers came across and helped a vulnerable female who had fallen in a bus stop. After reports of needles being found inside Ideal Village Park , we assisted in disposing them safely. Tickets were given to vehicles for obstructive parking on a footpath/ highway. Remember, please be mindful of those who need to use the footpath for wheelchairs and pushchairs.

On Friday 23rd January 2026, officers attended a safe-guarding meeting with partner agencies in relation to a vulnerable male. Officers completed numerous enquiries gaining positive outcomes, assisted Sutton Coldfield officers and Hodge Hill officers with a priority area on their patch. Later that evening, officers attended Kenelm Road looking at vehicles, targeting those that were showing as stolen. From this two stop searches were conducted and drugs/ drug paraphernalia was seized off of the individuals. One car was seized for being on cloned plates. 

On Saturday 24th January 2026, officers attended ASDA Bordesley Green to conduct a drop in surgery discussing vehicle crimes, burglaries and offering advice on how to keep safe especially with the darker nights. Faraday pouches, number plate screws, personal attack alarms and house alarms were given out to members of the public and we got to engage with them asking about any issues they are having in the local area.  Following reports about nitrous oxide being on the junction of Botha Road, officers have collected this and disposed of this safely. Officers have also conducted general patrols over Bordesley Green. 

All around a positive week for Bordesley Green supported by the residents and by partner agencies, it is something we have been doing and will continue to do. Once issues are reported to us we will continue to act against those involved, ensuring that our residents are safe and we can continue to prevent crimes before they become larger issues. 

Images of some of the above incidents can be found on our twitter page, @BordesleyWMP. We give updates on what we are up to on here!

Thank you for your attention,
