As reported yesterday, the Kingshurst & Fordbridge neighbourhood team have secured the support of officers on motorbikes. The unit will be out in force in North Solihull over the coming weeks.
Coun James Burn (Green), who has been calling for more to be done about the problem, said he was pleased that the council and police were taking “real action” to deal with the issue.
“There have been a number of close-calls and even a number of accidents where property and people have been hit by these bikes,” he said.
“Lots of people in Chelmsley Wood think it's just a matter of time before someone - especially a child or older person - is really hurt.”
There have also been changes to local fences in a renewed effort to keep the bikes out of parks.
If anyone knows where a bike is being used or stored, call officers on 101.
