Weekly update from the Four Oaks neighbourhood policing team.

Dear Resident

Good evening to you all from the Four Oaks and New Hall Neighbourhood Teams

On this set of shifts your neighbourhood teams have been busy in your community carrying out the following tasks

We have been carrying patrols in Mere Green, Walmley and Wylde Green retail areas deterring shoplifters.

Four Oaks Neighbourhood

Residential Burglary

Hill Hook Road -Tuesday 7th July at 01.09hrs offenders have entered the property through the front door, stealing the car keys to a Grey, Mercedes and driving away.

Blackberry Lane – Friday 10th July at 01.00hrs offenders have entered the property through an open window and stole keys to a Grey BMW and a Silver VW Polo and driving both vehicles away.

New Hall Neighbourhood

The Police have received no reports of burglaries or theft of motor vehicle.

 If you do own a keyless entry vehicle, please make sure that your keys are kept in a faraday pouch (always remember to check your Faraday pouch is still working), when at home or out and about, this will stop thieves getting the signal for your vehicle. Using a steering wheel lock is also a visual deterrent.

 Please remember to lock all windows and doors, do not leave keys in your doors, especially if you have a cat/dog flap, before heading out make sure your home looks like someone is in.
