Police have cordoned off the Beggars Bush pub in Sutton Coldfield following a major incident overnight. A blue police tent has been erected in the car park of the pub on Jockey Road this morning, Sunday, October 11.
Forensics officers in white suits were seen working to gather evidence within the cordon at approximately 9.30am. Several marked police cars were also parked outside the venue as enquiries were made.
Incident details remain unconfirmed
The exact nature of the incident has not yet been confirmed by authorities. BirminghamLive has contacted West Midlands Police for a full statement regarding the events that led to the cordon being established.
The pub's car park has been sealed off as investigators continue their work at the scene. The cordon was still in place during the late morning, with the blue tent visible from Jockey Road.
Ongoing police operation
It remains unclear how long the cordon will remain in place or what specific incident prompted the police response. The presence of the forensics team suggests a detailed examination of the area is underway.
West Midlands Police have not yet released further details about the incident. Additional information is expected once the force issues its full statement in response to the media enquiry.
