Status Update
Rural crime – Partnership working is ongoing with landowners to identify those believed to be involved in anti-social behavior or poaching. Additional late night patrols have been conducted by the team to specifically target rural crime and several individuals have been visited in relation to fire setting in rural areas.
Off road/E Bikes – We continue to organise planned OP Endurance days in which we designate resources to tackling the issue along side our road traffic and bike section officers. Several electric and petrol off road bikes have recently been seized in the area by Framwellgate Moor Neighbourhood Policing Team and by our own motorbike section.
Youth ASB – We have been increasing patrols of hotspot areas in which ASB has been reported, as a result of enquiries we have identified repeat offenders and conducted home visits to inform parents/guardians of what has been reported. We will continue to work alongside Durham County Council and local housing providers to deal with offenders.
