POLICE were called to Netherton last night (Wednesday) following reports that a gang of youngsters were walking around with crow bars and pickaxes.
A 999 call was made at 6.14pm by a member of the public who claimed to have spotted the youths in the Chester Road area.
A West Midlands Police spokesman said officers searched the area but “did not find any weapons or kids in possession of weapons”.
