The police and crime commissioner for the West Midlands claims protecting the public from criminals and terrorists will be "more difficult" after the UK voted to leave the EU.

David Jamieson, said in an era of "highly-mobile, tech-savvy" criminals operating across borders it was essential police and security forces co-operated across national frontiers.

He said he respected the "momentous" result of the EU referendum.
