Crime Statistics Commentary

There were 29 victims of burglary during March, two more than in February.  We have been working with the community, students, and landlords to increase security in rented properties.

We have increased the number of patrols in the area at times when we suspected burglaries might take place and have been visiting residents to remind them to use time switches and lock their doors. In many cases the thieves had preyed upon multi-occupancy student houses because residents had left ground floor windows and doors open or unlocked. We have increased patrols throughout the neighbourhood area trying to point out similar vulnerable premises to residents to prevent them becoming victims of crime.

Criminal Damage increased from 50 to 68 offences. This was a result of a spate of malicious damage to vehicles parked in the street that escalated towards the end of February and during the first week in March in the north Jesmond area. We increased police patrols and a local man was arrested and has been subsequently convicted at court.

Thefts have increased from 50 to 60 offences. Bikes continue to be targeted and we are encouraging people to store their bikes indoors or use “D” style locks.

In Jesmond and Heaton there has been an increase in anti-social behaviour during March with 33 more incidents compared to February. To tackle this, the Neighbourhood Policing Team has been working closely with the Newcastle City Council and the universities who together fund Operation Oak which provides dedicated police patrols to tackle inconsiderate behaviour during the night. The police continue to work closely with both universities and focus upon individual students who persistently disturb the peace for local residents robustly applying disorder legislation as well as college sanctions. We rely on the help we get from our local communities to tell us where they are having problems and to give us any information.

People can contact their local Neighbourhood Policing Team on 101, extension 69191 or via the Northumbria Police website, www.northumbria.police.uk.
