Extra police patrols in Halesowen ahead of FA Cup match
Officers will be on hand throughout the day on patrol in the town and surrounding areas.
West Midlands Police have announced extra patrols in Halesowen town centre this weekend ahead of Halesowen Town’s FA cup match.
The team are set to welcome Redditch United for the game on Saturday (November 14).
Police are asking those attending to be respectful and consider fellow supporters, staff and stewards.
Officers will be on patrol in the town and surrounding areas to ensure everyone can enjoy the match safely.
Chief Inspector Adam Henderson, of Dudley police, said: “We won’t tolerate anyone who is seen to be committing crime, taking part in disorder or causing a nuisance in the area.
“You may see more police around the town centre, but this is purely for reassurance purposes, and we are working closely and in contact with both football clubs ahead of the game.
“Whatever the result, we want to encourage everyone to enjoy the day and play their part in making it a positive experience for everyone.”
Police have urged that if there are any concerns, or anyone committing antisocial behaviour that the public should make their officers patrolling aware.
You can also call 101, or in an emergency always dial 999.
