The National Vehicle Crime Reduction Partnership (NVCRP) is proud to highlight the continued success of collaborative efforts with West Midlands Police to combat vehicle crime across the region. This week, three individuals, including two teenage boys, were arrested in connection with stolen motorbikes and a suspected firearm incident in Northfield, Birmingham.

The operation, which resulted in the seizure of two stolen motorbikes, was made possible thanks to prompt action by West Midlands Police officers, who responded swiftly after receiving reports from concerned members of the public. Two boys, aged 14 and 15, were arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and theft of motor vehicles. Whilst no firearm was found, investigations are ongoing.

The NVCRP played a key role in this operation by providing vital funding to support the ongoing fight against vehicle crime in the region. This is part of our continued commitment to working closely with police forces, motoring industry partners and HM Government to address the organised vehicle crime across the UK.

In a separate operation, officers working in Birmingham's Edgbaston, Ladywood, and Jewellery Quarter areas arrested a 32-year-old man in connection with vehicle break-ins, following community concerns about a recent surge in vehicle crime. The NVCRP's support for these efforts remains crucial as we work together to address the root causes of organised vehicle crime and make communities safer.

The NVCRP is proud of the collaboration between law enforcement and local communities, and we remain committed to supporting police forces in tackling vehicle crime. Together, we are making a real difference in reducing vehicle-related crime and protecting our communities.
