Officers issued a man with a Community Protection Warning notice and signposted him to support services after receiving multiple reports about his behaviour. 

Police shared an image of officers speaking with the vulnerable person, who's identity was protected, in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

In the caption, a spokesperson for Wednesfield & Heath Town Police said: "This morning we served a male with a Community Protection Warning notice after we had received many reports of his nuisance behaviour and aggressive begging. 

"We also submitted referrals to partner agencies (as agreed by himself) to hopefully get him the help & support he may need."
