Police recovered two stolen cars and made four arrests
Four teenagers have been arrested in Rowley Regis after police received reports of a group of men carrying machetes in Rowley Regis.
Armed officers responded to the reports in Windsor Close at 4.45pm on Wednesday (23 March). The teenagers tried making a run for it but all four – two aged 17, one 16 and a 15-year-old – were stopped and arrested.
Police found a Ford Kuga stolen from Tipton High Street on 15 March and a Ford fiesta stolen in New Square car park, West Bromwich, on 22 March. They’ve both been seized. Officers also recovered machetes plus ‘relay devices’ which are used by thieves to steal vehicles without keys.
