Crimestoppers launches new campaign to fight neighbourhood offences
A nationwide crime charity is starting a new campaign encouraging people to report neighbourhood crime.
The Crimestoppers charity is launching a new campaign to highlight the growing impact of neighbourhood crime.
Residents across South Tyneside are encouraged to give any information they may have regarding crimes like shoplifting and phone theft to the charity safely and anonymously.
Mick Duthie, Director of Operations from the charity Crimestoppers, said: “Neighbourhood crimes have the effect of eroding community safety which is why information we receive anonymously and pass on can help to keep us safe.
“We know that many people want to speak up but feel unable to. That’s why our charity exists. We provide a safe, trusted way for anyone to share information about crime completely anonymously.
“You don’t need proof, and you don’t need to give your name. Even a small piece of information can make a big difference in helping to protect others.”
