Antisocial Behaviour.

We have received complaints of ongoing antisocial behaviour in Leasowes Road, Tipton, which has lead to a number of disturbances that have effected the quality of life for local residents

PC Millard and Sandwell ASB officers are working with our other partner agencies regarding persistent ASB being caused to the residents of the street. We will be engaging with specific individuals in the coming weeks.

As part of our commitment to reducing ASB we deploy officers to the estate to carry out regular high visibility patrols, as well as taking appropriate action against those identified as causing the behaviour

We are working with the council and partners to target ASB, including the deployment of CCTV and high visibility patrols. Officers and the council are also taking action to target those causing harm to residents.

We would encourage residents to continue to report issues of ASB to us.

Off Road Bikes - a continuing and known problem. Residents are suffering from ASB from the use of Off Road Bikes, particularly in the Princes End ward. Operation Momento is the local response to this issues and we continue to work with local partners to address this issue.

Operation Momento .
The local team is continue working with partners to tackle antisocial nuisance bike behaviour across the borough through the installation of permanent deterrents. Sandwell council is also monitoring this, and with the increased use of these inhibitors, the use of these bikes is decreasing.
Please continue to contact us and the council with any reports of off-road bikes being used. Where we can identify particular hot spots, we can then target the use of our own off road bike team to patrol and apprehend offenders

A multi agency operation commenced September to target those using the bikes in an antisocial manner where both the police and partners will be using our legal powers to disrupt and enforce against those causing harm and distress to our residents.

Great Bridge Retail Park and High Street have been repeatedly been targeted by anti-social behaviour (ASB), prolific shoplifting and begging, attracting drug use to the area.

We have been working closely with partner agencies over the past few months, which has seen the majority of the homeless people re-housed, along with a reduction of drug use. We are making use of community protection warnings and notices, to divert aggressive beggars and ASB away from the retail park and great bridge in general, where we arrested and charged a male for breaching his notice and possessing a knife in Dec 25. We are still actively pursuing these notices and ensuring they remain enforced, as well as also investigating shop theft matters and charging a number of offenders, some of which have now been remanded.

Prevention is easier that investigation, so steps such as extra locks/trackers and immobilisers should be considered for high value vehicles.
