- 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

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.

Response (10 Nov 2025)

The team take positive action 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 engage in an active shop watch scheme where information and advice is shared between all attendees.

-High visibility and unmarked patrols in affected areas
