Current Priorities

Issue

Anti-social behaviour, Motorcycle Disorder, mainly Newbottle area but around Houghton

Action

High visibility patrols in the area and using plain clothed officers to identify prolific offenders. The neighbourhood team are asking members of the public to report any activity to police and requesting CCTV or images to try and identify people involved. We're also using the police drone where possible.
The team are issuing warning notices, bike seizures and the motorcycle disorder team are made aware of all incidents being reported to gain awareness of the wider picture.

Issue

Anti-Social behaviour around Houghton and Hetton

We conduct regular foot patrols which focus on engagement with the local community and businesses. Our patrols directly address any ongoing anti-social behaviour with any follow up enforcement carried out by the Neighbourhood policing team in conjunction with our partner agencies.
