Crime in bournville & cotteridge, birmingham

Bournville NHT have been routinely patrolling areas such as parks in joint operations with Birmingham City Council. Recovering stolen bikes from the area.

The local team are proactive in patrolling in the shopping area as often as they can be. We are still working with our partners in Birmingham City Councils community safety team in the area. They have been issuing community protection notices to those people found to be repeat offenders in the area - which has had a positive impact on the numbers of people loitering. we will continue with this positive work as well as making referrals to Street Link.

We will continue to investigate any theft from shops, by working with retail management to identify offenders and arresting those responsible for the crime.

If you have any information on who is committing the thefts - or where the goods are being taken too, then please get in touch with one of the team or anonymously to crimestoppers. We would like to prevent the offending and will need the communities help and support.

This will remain a priority for Bournville Neighbourhood Team , due to the transient nature of the properties.

The neighbourhood team are continuing to work with our partner agencies including the exempt accommodation team within BCC and local councillors. We continue to evaluate problem areas and try to support those who require further help.

We are still conducting walks in the area with the local councillor and are speaking to the support providers for the properties that have been raised. If you have a specific property in mind please let us know and we will look to include that.

We continue to investigate any issues raised and we would urge residents to go online and report it to West Midlands Police. or call 101 if you need it reported direct to us in person, on the phone, or online please..
