Binley and Willenhall Crime Intelligence

The focus we are tackling in Cheylesmore are residential burglaries. There have been some incidents the past month as the longer nights have drawn in. Offenders have taken the opportunity to act as the days have become shorter. A prime target is the homes of residents known to have expensive Jewellery.

In Earlsdon a local issue we are currently looking at is speeding which is a concern raised by residents and councillors at the local Police and Communities Together meetings had at Earlsdon Library. There are a number of 20 MPH speed limit roads in Earlsdon and drivers regularly break this speed limit. There is also an increase in continually bad parking and vehicles using the footpaths as car-parks during the night time economy at the weekends with those using the entertainment venues disregarding parking rules and basic sensible parking.

Anti-Social Behaviour by youths continues to be an issue across Binley & Willenhall, there has been an increase recently regarding reports of off-road bikes being used antisocially in the grassland near to Flecknose Street and near to the John White Community Centre. Shoplifting offences continue to cause concern at Remembrance Road, Quorn Way in Binley & The Airport Retail Park in Willenhall – all are repeat shop theft locations. We are focusing our efforts on these areas.
