Apologies to anyone who would have liked to attend, we were given very little time to let you know, we have been reassured that we will have more notice next time.

1. Facebook – after speaking with the Partnerships Team, unfortunately, West Midlands Police officers would not be able to join your Facebook page. Solihull Police do have a Facebook page however this is not monitored and is only used for the purpose of media circulations. The only way around this would be for any intelligence / information that is being shared on your Facebook page to be sent directly to the local officers – myself, PC Sean Neale or PCSO Roland Tabb via email. As mentioned this contact method is only to be used for passing on such information and is not to be used to report crime.
2. Theft from mailboxes – reports are still under investigation.
3. Tyre Extinguishers – the reports have been filed at this stage with the majority of updates stating that this was as a result of the quality of the CCTV and being unable to identify an offender. I know Phil mentioned that he had seen some clear images of the offender(s) so if these can be sent to myself, if available, along with the victims details / location, I will ensure they are added to the crime reports for further investigation.
4. Dickens Heath Road – the incidents involving the dog at an address on Dickens Heath Road are still under investigation with the Dangerous Dogs Unit.
