18 arrests and weapons and drugs seized in Dudley day of action
Police have hailed the success of a day of increased action across Dudley which saw 18 arrests and weapons and drugs seized.


Netherton is famously linked with the Titanic, as workers at Noah Hingley and Sons forged its 16-ton anchor. It was drawn through the streets of the town by shire horses to Dudley's railway stations on its journey to the Belfast shipyard. A replica of this impressive feat of engineering now takes pride of place in the town centre. Netherton has undergone a regeneration in recent years with celebrations and festivals held in and around Netherton Arts Centre and Netherton Park.
