North East

Welcome to North East Crimestoppers.

North East Crimestoppers is dedicated to helping solve crimes and taking criminals off the streets across Cleveland, Durham and Northumbria.

We are run by a Board of volunteers from the local community. We work in partnership with the local press, police, local councils and other agencies with a view to preventing, reducing and solving crimes, through campaigns and appeals.

Since 1988, people in the North East region have passed on over 44,000 pieces of information to Crimestoppers, safe in the knowledge that they would never be identified. That information was then passed to the police and other law enforcement agencies. As a result of this information:

• 4,250 people have been brought to justice
• 16 people have been charged with murder
• More than 8,500 crimes have been detected
• Almost 4.5million worth of stolen property and drugs have been recovered

We are not interested in who you are. We are only interested in what you know. If you know information about crime that you want to pass onto Crimestoppers anonymously, call 0800 555 111.
