Theft of Land Rover Discovery, Codsall
26 February 2019, 3:07 PM
Today, at approx 0150hrs, a blue Land Rover Discovery 4, reg no OY61UFH has been stolen from Birches Road in Codsall. The vehicle turned towards Tettenhall. There were 4 offenders who arrived on 2 motorbikes and all had helmets on. There are no reg numbers known for the bikes. It is believed the offenders used a scanning device to enable them to take it without the keys.
If anyone has any information in relation to this, please call 101 and quote incident 25 of 26/2/2019. There was very little fuel in this Discovery so please keep an eye out for it abandoned, too.
Consider buying steering wheel locks and possibly trackers for your Land Rover vehicles, or any high value/performance car.
Thank you,

I think something needs to be done about this particular road, if the council is reading. I'll explain why I think this is so..
You have a set of lights here that are extremely dangerous on account of a blind spot. So it's bad even at the best of times.
The roads are also narrow.
Added to this is the fact there is no ASL for cyclists in order to give them the more space - something they desperately need on account of the danger from cars.
So with this mix what you have here - on a daily basis - is (some) drivers trying to over-take cyclists where they simply shouldn't be over-taking, using their cars as a weapon to try and intimidate them out the way. What idiot would over-take on BLIND bend that can barely fit the width of one vehicle? Lots of idiots, apparently.
An ASL box on each road in front of the lights would at least make the people doing it think twice - if they keep doing it? Put a camera up. You might just catch the moronic fly-tippers parking there car on the bend and dumping their crap everywhere, too.
While you're at it - put down double white lines. It's blindingly obvious to the majority of drivers, not to over-take but as is life there is still that element who seems to think anything goes. And it routinely does.
This is a very dangerous road and set of lights. A minority of drivers (some of whom live nearby) are making it even worse just to try and race/beat other road users and put people's lives at risk!
