Earlier this evening a stolen Fiesta ST was sighted driving at speed out of Lichfield. Officers were quickly on scene and 2 were arrested.
This was in addition to 3 arrests made earlier today of occupants from another stolen vehicle.
Yet another disturbance in the Force 😪 RPD George crossed the Rainbow Bridge taking a piece of our hearts with him. Much love to Karen Jez and their furry family who will be devastated at his loss xx Sleep well Georgie you served us well
Great work again from Lichfield

Around £40,000 worth of cannabis plants have been seized from a house in Lichfield. Two men, aged 34 and 40 and from Lichfield and Tamworth were arrested on suspicion of drugs offences after a warrant was carried out in Yoxall Way yesterday. Both now released under investigation.
Thanks to quick thinking and reports by locals in Shenstone tonight we have found a male reported to be looking into vehicles. He was searched and found to be wanted by another force, he was subsequently arrested for further investigations to continue.
It's not unusual for police to hear shouts of 'haven't you got anything better to do' This driver thought they could drive through a flooded road, clearly not. For the avoidance of doubt 1, yes we do have better things to do and 2, Bellamour Lzne in Colton is impassable!

we asked local commander, Chief Inspector Mark Smith to share with us an insight into this unique area of Staffordshire.
Just assisted a female driver, who had broken down on the A5127 at Shenstone.. We gave her a push to get her off the road then fixed the fault, a loose battery terminal which caused a loss of all electrics.. One very happy 😀 lady, who is back on her way again..
