POLICE DETAILS
Northumbria Police - Farringdon, Pennywell, Pallion, Silksworth and Ryhope (Sunderland West) Neighbourhood

Shoplifting

We are proactively targeting known offenders while providing residents with tailored crime-prevention advice. Local neighbourhood officers are taking ownership of repeat offender management, adopting a problem-solving approach to reduce offending and support community safety.
For those who persist in committing crime or antisocial behaviour, we will seek Criminal Behaviour Orders to provide a stronger, long-term deterrent and help protect the community.

Motorbike Anti-Social Behaviour

We are carrying out a series of targeted Days of Action, with further dates already planned. These operations are conducted in partnership with a range of local agencies. Officers in plain clothes, along with police drone support, are being deployed to identify and apprehend offenders.
We will continue to take robust enforcement action, including the seizure of motorcycles, issuing of warning notices, and prosecutions for driving offences. We are also working closely with Gentoo and the Local Authority to use civil orders where appropriate to tackle persistent antisocial behaviour.

Anti-social behaviour

The neighbourhood team continues to carry out increased patrols across the area to deter antisocial behaviour and provide reassurance to residents. We are actively identifying offenders and working closely with housing providers, anti-social behaviour enforcement officers and tenancy teams to address and reduce repeat offending.
We also meet regularly with residents and local councillors to ensure we are listening to community concerns and gathering valuable intelligence to support ongoing problem-solving work.
