"Prolific offenders behind a tidal wave of crimes are being targeted by a series of police warning messages — direct to their mobile phones.
Police are to text the city’s most persistent crooks with details of the latest blitz to nab career crooks committing the majority of crimes.
From today, their mobiles will be beeping with the text message: “West Midlands Police are targeting hard core offenders under Operation Headway. Last week we arrested 52 of our top crooks. This week we intend to arrest more.”
