We have had 1 Burglary Dwelling reported which related to a house being broken into, sometime during Wednesday morning, on Ferndale Road. Unknown offender(s) forced a rear ground floor window, gained entry and stole some cash and jewellery. They then made good their escape. We have had 0 Robbery offences reported this past week. We have had 0 Theft of motor vehicles, Theft from motor vehicles or criminal damage to motor vehicles reported this past week. Likewise, we have had 0 offences of criminal damage to dwellings or Theft of metals offences this past week. We have had 2 assaults reported to us this last week. The first related to a domestic violence incident at a property on Titford Road last Saturday where a male assaulted a female after a verbal argument and the second matter related to a male assaulting another male outside Lancaster House, Oldbury Road, yesterday afternoon (Thursday). This assault stemmed from previous disputes between the two males who were known to each other. Our 1 other miscellaneous offence this past week related to a shoplifting offence at Toys R Us on Wednesday afternoon. We have had 0 racist / hate crime incidents reported to us this week. Arrests this past week include offenders for both assaults as well as the shoplifting matter. Previous weeks activity – ASB * We have only had 2 calls recorded as ASB over the past week which is pleasing bearing in mind the current hot weather. The first related to a complaint of noisy music coming from an address on Langley High Street on Monday night. Officers attended and found a young female having a party whilst her parents were away. She was advised and the music was turned down. Various guests also left the property. Our second call related to a neighbour dispute between two properties in New Henry Street, Langley. Officers attended and advised both parties who were making counter allegations about children causing a nuisance. * Local Intelligence No significant intelligence of note this week. Crime patterns * In terms of serious acquisitive crime, we have reduced Burglary Dwelling offences to an average of one per week across the whole neighbourhood over the past year. This is a significant reduction on what we used to suffer and has been most significantly achieved by specific targeting of our known offenders for such crimes. We have no current patterns to the most recent offences we have suffered but patrols will be increased in these areas to offer some reassurance to victims and residents. We suffer very few commercial or street robberies on the neighbourhood, with only 13 such offences for the whole of last year across the neighbourhood. Once again there is no pattern to these. Vehicle crime overnight was our main problem throughout 2012-2013, around the Wolverhampton Road and roads off there, although this reduced significantly during the first four months of this year due to some significant arrests and additional patrols. Unfortunately, this has creped back up over recent weeks during night time hours so we will be attempting to tackle this problem once again. Property stolen tends to be either sat nav systems left in vehicles or registration plates off the vehicle which are often then used in making off without payment for fuel offences around the Sandwell area. * Burglary Dwelling and vehicle crime remain a priority for our neighborhood and the whole of Oldbury and Rowley Regis. We are working closely with our CID colleagues which will give us more control on our target nominals. Community Reassurance * Local officers have conducted High Visibility patrols in hot spot locations, in particular our locations of our recent burglaries, to offer reassurance to residents and increase trust and confidence. We are also now providing additional patrols around the Lion Farm estate to combat sporadic complaints of ASB by groups of youths during the evenings. Forward Planning * Langley NH Forum. 6.30pm, Monday 22nd July 2013. St James church, Shelsley Avenue, Lion Farm. If you can assist the partnership in any of the issues raised above, please contact your neighborhood manager Mr. Parmjit Sahota or myself. Many Thanks Ian Shepherd P Sgt 5093 Langley + Whiteheath neighborhood policing team.
