Local Priorities
Shoplifting:
Shoplifting isn’t a victimless crime – it impacts local businesses, raises prices for honest customers and can contribute to wider issues of antisocial behaviour. Being visible helps us deter crime and support shop owners directly.
Issued: 13 Apr 2026
Status Update
The team take positive actions with all suspects identified and look to identify suspects at an early stage in order to prevent them reoffending. We also seek charges on the suspects in order for them to be charged with the offence and hopefully face prison terms. Furthermore we look to gain this evidence to apply for orders such as criminal behavior orders which prevents them from entering certain premises and also areas amongst other conditions.
The team also have an active shop watch scheme where information and advice is shared between all attendees.

Youth nuisance & Anti Social Behaviour
Issued: 23 Dec 2025
Status Update
To tackle this we have been:
- Carrying out high visibility patrols along with colleagues from Durham County Council Neighbourhood Wardens Team and ASB Team
- We have ASB meetings to discuss ASB suspects with our Durham County Council colleagues and housing provider teams.
- Use of Anti-Social Behaviour Contracts (ABC's), Community Protection Warnings (CPW's) and Community Protection Notices on offenders of ASB
- Intelligence gathering
- Working with and supporting victims of ASB

Off Road motor bikes in and around Wheatley Hill and Thornley remain a priority as does antisocial behaviour (ASB). Off-road bikes used illegally often cause noise nuisance, danger to pedestrians and damage to local green spaces. Taking these vehicles off the road helps prevent accidents and restores peace in our neighbourhoods.
Issued: 23 Dec 2025
Status Update
The team continue to work with partners to gather intelligence regarding the anti social use of off road bikes in this area.
We have seized off road bikes in the East Durham area after calls of Anti Social Behaviour in the area.
