🚔 Seaham NPT Community Weekly Round-up 🚔

Jason Kenny has been sentenced to 24 weeks in prison after breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) and committing a number of shoplifting offences in Seaham.

A female aged 42 has been arrested on suspicion of theft from a motor vehicle. Enquiries remain ongoing, and she has been released on bail pending further investigation.

A Community Protection Warning (CPW) has been issued in relation to incidents on Church Street. A female has also breached her Community Protection Notice (CPN) and will be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice. High-visibility patrols will continue in the area to tackle anti-social behaviour and provide reassurance to the local community.

Following several reports of youths setting off fireworks near Seaham Town Hall, a number of young people have been stopped, spoken to and searched. Officers continue to patrol the area. Police have worked alongside Durham County Council and have issued intervention forms to those identified as being involved in anti-social behaviour.

⚠️ Firework Safety Reminder

Fireworks can be enjoyable when used safely and legally, but they can also pose serious risks:

🎆 It can cause serious injuries, including burns and damage to hands, fingers, eyes, the head and face.

🚑 Throwing or aiming fireworks at people, vehicles or buildings can cause serious injury and is a criminal offence.

📜 It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to buy, possess or use fireworks. Misuse of fireworks can result in police action and prosecution.

If you witness anti-social behaviour involving fireworks, please report it to Durham Constabulary via 101 or online. In an emergency, always call 999 👮‍♂️

🌿 Cannabis Grow Discovered in Seaham

On Wednesday, officers from the Seaham Neighbourhood Policing Team executed a magistrates warrant at Seaham Grange Industrial Estate, where a substantial cannabis cultivation was discovered.

Two males were arrested at the scene and have since been charged. They have been remanded in custody and will next appear at Crown Court.

These types of setups are not only illegal but can also be extremely dangerous, often involving unsafe electrical connections that significantly increase the risk of fire.

Common signs to look out for include strong, unusual odours, the constant hum of extractor fans, covered windows, or other suspicious activity at a property.

If you have any information about suspected drug-related activity in your community, please report it to the police by contacting 101 or online, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.

“When the guns go silent, that’s when the battle begins…”

Durham Constabulary officially launched the Forcer Protocol with East Durham Veterans at an event in Murton earlier today.

The Forcer Protocol is a UK-wide police initiative that helps find and protect serving personnel, veterans and reservists who go missing.

Speaking at the event, ACC Jon McAdam shared his personal experiences. He said he was “proud to be part of the Forcer Protocol – a vital initiative that reinforces our unwavering commitment to safeguarding vulnerable people who go missing”.

He was joined by Claire Lilly, who founded the Forcer Protocol after her husband, Lance Corporal Alan James Forcer, died in May 2020.

The scheme allows important information to be recorded in advance, including a veteran’s vulnerabilities and places they may be found. If they go missing, police can access this information immediately to support the search.

The free service is provided by Safe and Found Online and is run independently of the police.
