Drugs, weapon, and vehicle seized as part of proactive policing in Birmingham
Drugs, a weapon and a vehicle have been seized following proactive policing in Alum Rock.
A proactive police team have made a number of arrests in an area of Birmingham as police operations continues.
Officers from Operation Skybridge were on patrol near Foxton Road in Alum Road on Tuesday when they spotted a vehicle they’d been suspicious of over the weekend.
They stopped the car and carried out searches, where a knuckle duster was recovered, while the car was then seized as it didn’t have insurance.
A man aged 39 was arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon, while a woman aged 35 was reported for driving with no insurance and no licence.
Meanwhile, officers from Project Guardian, a taskforce combatting youth violence and knife crime, also arrested a man and seized drugs in Alum Rock.
They spotted someone acting suspiciously near Sladefield Road yesterday, and following searches recovered a large amount of suspected cannabis and cash.
A man aged 21 remains in police custody being questioned on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs.
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: “Local officers are listening to residents in Alum Rock, and anyone with concerns or information about criminal activity should call us on 101 or speak to us via Live Chat on our website.”
