We are asking residents to be vigilant following the attempted theft of a Motor vehicle on Callow Hill, Alvechurch, at 2.11am on Thursday 23rd January.

Two males in dark coloured hoodies were caught on camera with what appeared to to be some remote aerial device by the vehicle, on the drive of the house.  They were scared off when the dog in the house started barking.  They made off in the direction of Tanyard Lane.

We are asking residents to ensure that their vehicles are secure, and that any remote keys, are stored safely in an immobiliser pouch type device
