We are aware of an increased pattern of offending for vehicle crime within the Nechells Green area.
Issued: 5 May 2026
Status Update
The Nechells NHT are engaged with multiple work streams across the community that are designed to reduce the level of vehicle crime.
The team have been in communities, including the Nechells Green area, handing out crime prevention material and devices.
Nechells NHT have understood the seasonal climate change and as such have collaborated with internal departments to recognise patterns of crime and ensure we have police in the right areas at peak times to counteract any potential crime.
Vehicle crime, remains a priority locally and the NHT will ensure plans are in place to reduce and minimise this crime type.
Please be vigilant when parking your vehicle in public spaces and do not leave valuable items on open display.
Vehicle Theft can occur at any point, however of note this has been heightened at weekends, specifically during football matches with AVFC. Not leaving vehicles in a vulnerable position is paramount. Nechells NHT are aware of this issue and are working with our ops department to ensure opportunities to convict offenders are taken and prevent offences being committed
