BREAKING: Two Police cars spotted on Dawlish Road regarding a stop and search

Two Police cars were seen on Dawlish Road at 5:30 today taking at least one man away


On Dawlish Road this afternoon, there were two police cars seen taking at least one man away in relation to a stop and search.

An eye witness told the Birmingham Tab "I originally only saw one car and was rather alarmed by the lights, after a couple of minutes a second car pulled up behind the parked police car."

They continued "there were between 4-6 Police officers and it looked like they moved people between the two cars. They then stood in a huddled for a minute before closing the boots of both cars and leaving at about 10 to 6".

"He remains in police custody this morning."
