Silhill Crime Update

Good Evening,

Here is your WMnow update for what has been going on in the Silhill area since our last message and what the team has been up to.

Crime Update: 

There was a Burglary Business on Warwick Road which happened between 1845hrs - 1852hrs on 31/07/2026 whereby offenders have gained entry to the property and stolen x2 CCTV cameras. 

Good News:

The Team assisted our CID teams this week and arrested a young male on suspicion of wounding following an assault involving weapons. The weapon used in the offence was recovered from the address and the male is now before the Courts awaiting trial.

We have dealt with a male for theft where he has taken advantage of the kind will of a member of the public who he asked for assistance. While the victim was distracted the male made off with cash that had been withdrawn from a cash point. He was quickly arrested and charged, and the victim has had their money returned to them.

We would like to thank everyone who attended the community meeting we held on Tuesday afternoon at the Hatchford Brook Family Hub. There was a good turn out and some really valuable engagement resulting in some opportunities to for the team to further tackle the issues that matter to the local community.

Following extensive CCTV and ANPR work we have been able to identify a suspect for a theft matter where a vulnerable lady was robbed of a cherished item of jewellery. We managed to get a name for the suspect and a location and they are now WANTED with police across the Midlands closing the net in to get them behind bars where they belong. Without the help of members of the public providing us with footage we would not have been able to get nearly as far with this investigation, thank you.

We hope that you all have a lovely rest of the week and weekend.
