Local Priorities

Retail crime and shoplifting offences continue to be a focus of ours across the Binley & Willenhall area. Remembrance Road, Quorn Way in Binley & The Airport Retail Park in Willenhall are all home to repeat targets and continue to be affected by criminality.

Issued: 13 May 2026

Status Update

We continue to issue Community Protection Notices and Community Protection Warnings to those that are identified as being involved in shop thefts, and recently we have secured the arrests and charges of a number of prolific shoplifting offenders. Retail area patrols are incorporated into our daily patrols, and we regularly stop to engage with employees of stores in the affected areas.

Actioned: 13 May 2026

In Earlsdon we continue to try and address speeding, anti-social driving and inconsiderate parking, issues which continue to be flagged to us. In particular, speeding at the top of Earlsdon Street and Beechwood Avenue remains prominent. We also continue to move-on inconsiderately parked taxis in the evenings while patrolling, and delivery vehicles where and when reported to us.

Issued: 13 May 2026

Status Update

In response to the issue of speeding, we deploy marked police vehicles and blue-light trained drivers to patrol the area on a regular basis. We have also requested Hand Held Laser Speed device training courses for Officers new to the team so that they can carry out Speed Watch operations. We are increasing our pro-active patrols and visibility in the area to reflect our approach to tackling these issues.

Actioned: 13 May 2026

The focus we are tackling in Cheylesmore at the moment is vehicle crime, including the theft of personal items from vehicles, interference with motor vehicles, damage to vehicles and the attempted and complete theft of vehicles. In particular, Scimitar Way, Cecily Road and Warwick Road have all been affected recently.

Issued: 13 May 2026

Status Update

We have increased our patrols across the Cheylesmore area, including targeted patrols of crime hotspots and recently afflicted areas for reassurance. We have devised a comprehensive set of actions to be taken upon vehicle-related crime being recorded in order to expedite the investigation of these reports.
