Op Hercules – Car cruising across Nechells and wider Local Policing Area (LPA)

The Nechells Neighbourhood Policing Team is collaborating with the Force Traffic Unit and the Roads Harm Reduction Unit to address this issue. We are adopting a pragmatic, intelligence-led approach focused on gathering information and data to guide our efforts.

Serious Youth Violence - specifically targeting robberies and knife related crime.

Despite achieving the lowest recorded number of robberies across the force since March 2021, coupled with the highest prosecution rate in April this year, our commitment to further reducing these figures remains unwavering. We maintain a zero-tolerance stance on knife crime and will pursue arrests whenever possible to ensure public safety.

Vehicle crime and car cannibalism

We are aware of the recent increase in vehicle-related crime, including incidents of car cannibalism, within Nechells. In response, we are strategically allocating resources to address this issue through targeted patrols and proactive enforcement, with the goal of achieving a measurable reduction in these offenses.
