Police in the West Midlands seized 27 supercars worth over £500,000 in 16 days, cutting car crime by 10%.
In 2021, there were almost 12,000 thefts. By 2023, it rose to over 16,000. The police are fighting back, cutting car crime by over 10%.
They’ve really stepped up operations in 2024. They seized 27 cars in just 16 days. Those cars were worth over half a million pounds. New police funds help a lot. They use them for proactive policing.
Money also supports tech to find stolen cars. They recovered a Porsche worth £140,000. “Operation Vantor” has recovered over 200 stolen cars. This operation ran for about eight months. They found a Bentley, Land Rover, and BMW.
The Police and Crime Commissioner is worried. He wants to protect the people. The investment helps. Police disrupt crime rings, recover cars, and catch thieves.
A police chief said they are committed and want to catch criminals. Residents should report anything suspicious. Call the police or Crimestoppers if you know something.
