Following a surge in vehicle crime across the Cannock and West Midlands region, police have announced a new “high-visibility” operation starting today. Data released this morning shows that over 340 people were arrested for burglary and vehicle-related offenses in January alone. Local policing teams in Cannock South and West are intensifying patrols in residential areas and rural car parks like Seven Springs, where “smash and grab” incidents have remained high. Residents are being reminded to clear all valuables from their cars and use steering locks where possible. Police have confirmed that specialized “Skybridge” proactive teams will be deployed in Cannock town center throughout the week.
