Leaflets aimed at kerb-crawlers
Police have been handing out leaflets to people they suspect of kerb-crawling as part of a new initiative in Birmingham's largest red light area.

Officers have been stopping potential kerb-crawlers and men on their own in cars, in Small Heath.

Police said the leaflets, which explain a case study of what can happen to someone caught kerb-crawling, provide a "new way to get the message across".

The leaflets have been printed in Urdu and English.
