GOOD NEWS
This past week the team has been working flat out to tackle what quickly emerged as a significant problem in the Solihull area. A male was seen trying car door handles on dozens of cars in every corner of the Borough getting into some and carrying out a number of thefts.
We were able to identify 33 offences linked to this male, including theft from motor vehicle, attempt theft from motor vehicle and vehicle interference. We made two initially unsuccessful arrest attempts in Birmingham after identifying the offender and tracking him to a number of locations. Undeterred, we followed new leads and put in place a plan to catch him.
Thankfully the hard work and determination paid off and the offender has now been arrested, charged with 33 offences and remanded in prison. Without people coming forward reporting these offences and providing us with footage we wouldn’t have been able to take swift action regarding this. Thank you to everyone.
The team have also recovered three stolen vehicles this week. A stolen car and two stolen motorbikes. One of which was stolen within the hour it was located and safely reunited with its rightful owner while enquires are still ongoing.
