Redditch police conduct joint operation at railway station

Officers from Redditch Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) were present at Redditch railway station yesterday (Wednesday 24 January) as part of Neighbourhood Policing Week.

Redditch SNT partnered with neighbouring force West Midlands and British Transport Police (BTP) on the lookout for potential shoplifters or persons known to officers arriving from the Birmingham area.

The operation was one of our regular activities monitoring passengers coming in and out of the station to protect the public from criminals.

This Neighbourhood Policing Week we are highlighting the work we do every day of the year 24/7 to tackle criminal activities such as anti-social behaviour, burglaries, shoplifting, violence, domestic abuse, hate crimes and drugs that impact your neighbourhood.

Police Constable Mike Moore of Redditch Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “This was one of our regular joint operations targeted at shoplifters and known offenders whose actions have a major impact on livelihoods in the communities we serve in North Worcestershire.

“Thankfully, we hope partly due to these regular patrols, there were no incidents to report on this occasion, but we will continue to police the railway station to keep the public safe.”
