Were you driving along the A46 between Oversley Green and Salford Priors around 3.45am this morning?

We were called after reports of a collision between the driver of an HGV and a pedestrian. The pedestrian – a man in his 60s – was believed to have been walking towards his car, which had broken down. Sadly, he died at the scene. His next of kin has been informed.

A 55-year-old man from Cornwall has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Investigations are under way and we're asking anyone with dashcam footage of the collision or who saw anything to get in touch.

If you can help please contact us via the link in comments quoting incident number 39 of 22 May or reference 23/21929/26.

Good Afternoon All.

Over the last couple of days there have been a number of anti social behaviour incidents around Alcester involving the same group of youths causing nuisance and disturbance in the shops on High St, Waitrose and surrounding car parks. Same youths were also involved in verbally abusing shoppers and members of public.

We wanted to assure you that we have obtained CCTV and are working with businesses and schools to identify youths.

If you experienced ASB over the last couple of days and have not reported it to 101, please do, so that we can collate all the incidents and take action against those involved to prevent it from escalating further.

Kindest Regards

With the weather hopefully improving, we wanted to share some safety advice.

It can be tempting to cool off by swimming in open water, but it comes with many dangers, which is why we're encouraging parents to talk to their children and discourage them from doing so unless it is a designated and supervised swimming area.

Even on warm days, open water can be extremely cold, causing cold water shock which can quickly lead to drowning.

There are also hidden dangers beneath the surface including sudden drops, poor visibility and discarded objects that can trap or injure swimmers.

One conversation now could save a life.

Remember - if you see a child or anyone else in difficulty in the water, please call 999 immediately.

You can also find more water safety information on the RLSS website via the link below:

An average of 328 UK and Irish Citizens lose their life to accidental drowning EVERY YEAR and many more have non-fatal experiences, sometimes suffering life-changing injuries.* At the Royal Life Saving Society UK (RLSS UK), we work tirelessly to educate people to enjoy water safely, to keep their fa...

You will have likely seen in the news last night that the UK terrorist threat level has been raised to SEVERE – meaning an attack is highly likely.

For you, the public, this means remaining alert but not alarmed. Within Warwickshire, we will continue to work, day and night, to keep you safe.

Our officers will continue to be out and about in our communities, please come and talk to one of them if you have concerns.

If you see anything that doesn’t feel right report via gov.uk/ACT.

In an emergency always call 999.

It was an absolute pleasure to visit Little Nutkins, Henley again this year to speak to the children. It was lovely seeing all the excitement and smiling faces. Definitely some future officers in the making.👮‍♀️👮🚓
