Your Weekly Bablake Update

Your Weekly Bablake Update

Weekly Update from your local Bablake NPT

Dear Members

Here’s your weekly update from myself and the rest of the team.

What’s Been Happening

This set, officers from the team took part in a Multi-Agency Road Safety Operation (MARSO) with the force’s Road Harm Prevention Team and other agencies. Several vehicles were seized for varying reasons including no driving licence, no insurance and displaying false plates. Operations like this make our roads safer. 

Intelligence 

 After receiving intelligence that registration plates and ID cards had been dumped down a drain, enquiries were carried out which revealed that the vehicle which the plates belonged had been stolen from the MET.  Officers attend, whilst there was no sign of the stolen vehicle at the given location, looking in the vicinity, bingo!  One happy owner. As your local neighbourhood team, we appreciate intelligence from the local community which helps us to prevent crime and target offenders.

Decamp 

On Friday 13th October, a vehicle tried to evade officers, the driver endeavoured to run off but was detained. It soon became clear why, searching the vehicle number plates were in the boot and false ones on display.  The driver also had no licence or insurance. Vehicle was accordingly seized.

Halloween Fun

Are you looking for an exciting way to keep your children entertained during this October half term? If so, from Wednesday 28th to Friday 30th October, West Midlands Police Museum will be hosting a series of fun, interactive sessions. For more information What's On -
