Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Chief Constable Louisa Rolfe said: "Robbery remains challenging for us. Whilst we record significantly higher levels of robbery than our most similar forces, our charge rate is at least comparable. So we are making significant inroads."

The artist famous for creating the giant knife Angel sculpture has unveiled his latest work, which is intended to highlight the problem of cyber-crime.

Alfie Bradley, who is based at Rednal in Shropshire, said he'd been the victim himself and called the one-metre-high statue Trojan - connecting the Trojan Horse virus with its origins in Greek mythology.

The sculpture is made out of steel rods and steel sheets and Mr Bradley said he hadn't yet decided where it would be displayed.
