POLICE FIGURES SHOW CRIME RATE IS FALLING LOCALLY
20 Oct 2009
Local residents can now report crime online at Northumbria Police's new website.
The new service is part of the force's 'policing pledge', which sets a series of key promises to residents.
Meanwhile, crime rates in Woolsington Ward have fallen 2.8% in the last year.
The level of crime is regarded as "average" when compared to the rest of the Northumbria force area.
Focus Editor James Kenyon said: "I am pleased crime is falling locally."
