A marked police vehicle has been trashed by mindless morons as officers carried out a welfare check at a nearby address. 

The incident happened yesterday evening (13th Jan) in Payton Road, Handsworth. 

Officers had been called to an address to check on the welfare of a vulnerable adult. 

As they spoke to the vulnerable person, their vehicle was trashed. 

The front windscreen was smashed, as well as the driver’s window, the drivers wing-mirror and the blue-light bar on the roof. 

The damage will cost taxpayers thousands of pounds. 

Local 999 response team officers could also now be hampered in responding to emergency calls since they will now be down one vehicle. 

Supt Gareth Morris, from Birmingham Police, said:

‘Extremely annoyed- whilst officers were in Payton Road, Handsworth last night checking on someone’s welfare, our car was maliciously damaged incl blue lights and roof. 

‘If you know anything please contact us quoting log 2944 of 13/1 

‘A car off the road puts people at risk.’

Anyone with any information is being encouraged to call the police via 101. If you wish to remain anonymous, then you call also call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
