Good morning everyone,
We hope you are enjoying the football (Its coming home) and the warm weather! Here is your update for the Olton area.
Crime Update:
There was a theft of motor vehicles on Mereside Way overnight on the 24th of June where an unknown offender has stolen a locked and secured Blue Toyota Yaris. Local CCTV enquires are still ongoing.
There has been an outbuilding break in on Ulverley Green Road whereby the unknown offender has stolen a 60" LG TV which was inside the outbuilding over the course of the night of the 25th of June.
There has been a residential burglary of a building site on St Bernards Road which took place in the early hours of the 28th of June. The offenders gained entry and stole copper and cabling to an unknown value from the site. CCTV enquires are ongoing to locate the offenders.
Good News:
The team started the Weekend off well with a report of a male asleep at the wheel of his vehicle on a busy main road. Upon attendance, it was quickly established that the male was intoxicated and was arrested for being in charge of a vehicle whilst unfit through drink or drugs. The male was taken to custody where he blew a whopping 140! More than three times the legal limit. He then spent the day and night in a cell to sober up before being charged to court.
We responded to reports of a vulnerable male who was suffering a mental health crisis was at significant risk of causing himself harm. We managed to locate the male very quickly thanks to really good communication from members of the community calling in and passing information. He is now safe and receiving help.
The team attended a report of an abandoned vehicle. The eagle-eyed resident noticed that the rear tyres were completely shredded. Checks on the VIN number showed that the vehicle was stolen on 25/06/26. The vehicle was recovered for further forensic enquires. This just shows how important your calls are, keep those eyes peeled!
A search was carried out on a suspected drug dealer and a vehicle on the border on our patch and a quantity of a cannabis was seized. This may seem minor but it has led to a disruption in criminal activity in our area.
Finally, the team attended a report of 3 missing children in the North of Solihull who were last seen playing outside together, the children had been gone for about 40 minutes. Our officers attended and located all 3 children within 5 minutes of attending the location. All 3 were safely returned to their parents, a safe and successful effort to reunite three families.
We will be back in touch soon. Take care and stay safe!
