00:00This morning, so we've been out here in Birmingham and we've arrested somebody who we believe is
00:06linked to a series of car cannibalism offences across the inner city of Birmingham. We've
00:11conducted a warrant here at a unit in Bordesley Green and we've also been searching another
00:16residential premise nearby. Today we'll be focusing on interviewing that individual and
00:20looking to put that evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service later today.
00:25Also, this is part of our response to tackling car cannibalism across the West Midlands
00:30and showing our communities that we're listening to the problems that they are raising with us
00:34and here in Birmingham my CLD teams are working very hard with this as one of our priorities
00:40to ensure that we reduce this type of offending and also put people before the courts.
