West Midlands Police: 70 Arrests, 60 Weapons Seized

0:00On March 14, West Midlands police made 70 arrests last February for knife possession and violent crimes in areas like Dudley, Wolverhampton, and Walsall. Their guardian task force ramped up patrols across the region, including Sanwell and other burrows, leading to 367 stop searches. Those searches turned up 60 weapons, mostly knives, along with drugs that officers seized right away. The push hit hard in local spots, with 39 arrests in the black country, 28 in Birmingham, and 17 in Coventry and Soley Hole. Efforts like these keep paying off by getting dangerous items off the streets, and the team plans to stay out there targeting youth violence for safer. Communities
