At a recent West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner accountability meeting, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Wasim Ali questioned Acting Chief Constable Scott Green about ongoing efforts to tackle crime on local high streets. Ali highlighted that mini marts have been associated with the sale of illegal cigarettes, vapes, drugs, and alarming allegations of child exploitation in areas like Dudley.
