Weekly Round Up

Weekly Round Up

Dear Residents, 

PCSO Petrosino here, with a quick round up from me and the rest of the Hillfields neighbourhood policing team.

What`s been happening: 

We have conducted high visible patrols around your neighbourhood, aiming at the hotspots for anti-social behaviour. We have also been very proactive with arrests this week as detailed below, and taken part in multiple community engagements throughout Hillfields. 

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: 

Your local Neighbourhood team have been out and about engaging in the community.

Business Crime – We have visited many local businesses in Hillfields, discussing issues in the local area and informing them how to report retail crime and how we investigate it. 

University Accommodation -  We have visited student accommodation sites to meet with students and discuss ongoing issues, and offer up crime prevention advice tailored to student life. 

Sense of Unity - We also policed the Sense of Unity event at Coventry Cathedral, which marked the 86th anniversary of the Coventry Blitz. 

ARRESTS:

This week your local officers made some good arrests this set. Altogether there were 4 arrests made regarding known offenders causing issues within the local neighbourhood this week.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK:

Officers have been on the weekend on a 2 day operation in Hillfields, targeting the high profile crime areas to disrupt offenders. This concluded with 3 arrests, 20 stop and searches for drugs and stolen items, and seizure of illegal bikes and cars. 

We have completed block walkthroughs at Thomas King House to target rough sleepers who trespass into the block. This resulted in successful disruptions of known repeat offenders. 

GREAT NEWS:

Your local neighbourhood team have recently set-up a Street watch in Hillfields. 

Street Watch Team is a community patrol initiative that helps you make a difference where you live. Street watch gives you and your community an opportunity to keep your area safe. Our website has more information and how to get involved www.west-midlands.police.uk or contact streetwatch@westmidlands.police.uk
