🚨 ELMDON PARK: PLEASE REPORT EVERY INCIDENT
If we want action on crime and antisocial behaviour in Elmdon Park, we need to make sure it’s reported.
This morning I met Sgt Thomas Willetts at Solihull Police Station to raise residents’ concerns about riders causing problems in the park and reports of bike thefts. He had no record of some of the thefts residents have mentioned, which shows why reporting matters.
Police resources are stretched, and reports help identify hotspots and direct officers, including specialist units tackling off-road bikes.
We also discussed police working with the council on possible deterrents, including CCTV and targeted lighting around car parks, children’s play areas and secluded paths.
There was encouraging news too: Sgt Willetts said burglary figures are trending down across the borough, with Elmdon’s levels remaining comparatively low.
Please report crimes and antisocial behaviour:
📞 999: emergencies, including a crime happening now or someone in immediate danger.
📞 101: non-emergency incidents, including crimes discovered afterwards.

Every report helps build the picture police need to target action where it matters.
