We worked through yesterday and into this morning in a bid to trace the man we believe responsible for these terrible crimes. We want to thank everyone who shared our CCTV and appeal, and who provided information to the investigation. #BirminghamStabbings.

This is a crucial development but our investigation continues. We still need to speak to any witnesses who saw what happened who’ve not yet spoken to us, or anyone who may have video, photos or information. Send it here http://ow.ly/zAvc50BjArk 

Parts of the city are still sealed off by our officers today as the investigation continues, so plan your journey, avoid the areas, and follow @nxwestmidlands for bus diversions. #BirminghamStabbings
