There was a Burglary Business on Warwick Road which happened 0440hrs – 0500hrs on 16/07/2026 whereby offender/s have gained entry to a premises and stolen a box containing money. 
 

Good News

The team saw a White BMW parked up in Olton during routine patrols. A check of the vehicle by officers revealed that the VIN did not match the registration plates which were displayed on the vehicle. The true identity of the vehicle revealed that this was in fact a stolen vehicle. This was therefore recovered for forensic examination. 

The team responded to a report from a member of the public regarding a vehicle that had been abandoned. Although checks did not show that this vehicle was stolen, it was involved in crime and had no tax, therefore the vehicle was recovered. This shows that we truly value reports from our community, please remain vigilant and always report any suspicious behaviour, it really does help us keep our community safe!

We hope you all have a lovely weekend and keep enjoying this glorious sunshine!
