🚓 Seaham NPT Community Update 🚓

With a mix of enforcement, engagement, and a lot of steps taken ... Here’s a quick look at what your neighbourhood team have been up to across Seaham and Murton:

🛑 Off-Road Nuisance Tackled in Murton

• Two quad bikes have been seized after reports of anti-social and illegal use — one rider has been reported for driving offences.

• We also seized a mountain bike with a petrol engine attached. These bikes might look fun, but they’re illegal, and not for public roads or paths.

👮‍♀️ Team Effort Leads to Arrest

• Working alongside our colleagues in the Volume Crime Team, a female suspect was arrested in the Seaham area. She’s since been charged with burglary, fraud, and shoplifting. Great teamwork to get another one off the streets.

👣 Out on Foot in the Community

• Officers have carried out 94 hours of foot patrols in the last 7 days, including coverage of hotspot areas and the Seaham Carnival.

• Two of our team even clocked up nearly 10 miles on foot in Seaham yesterday!

🎉 Summer Fun in Murton

• We had a brilliant time visiting Ribbon Primary School’s summer fair — it was great to chat with the kids and take part in a bit of summer fun while building positive connections.

As always, if you’ve got concerns or info that can help us keep your community safe, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

🚨 £20,000 Raised for Lifesaving Defibrillators! 🚨

Over the past 5 years, Seaham Neighbourhood Policing Team has proudly raised an incredible £20,000 – all of which has gone directly towards placing and maintaining defibrillators across the Seaham and Murton areas. ❤️⚡

Thanks to the dedication of our officers, who’ve organised and taken part in fundraising golf days in their own time, we've now funded 14 defibrillators – and counting!

💚 A huge thank you to:

- Sharpley Golf Course & Seaham Golf Course for hosting our events year after year

-Parish Councillor Julie Griffiths for her fantastic support and tireless help with our fundraising efforts

🗓️ Our next fundraising event will take place on Monday 1st September 2025 – see the attached poster for more details, we hope to see many of you there!

💡 Why are defibrillators so important?
In the event of a sudden cardiac arrest, quick access to a defibrillator can make all the difference – it can increase the chance of survival by up to 70% when used within minutes. That’s why making them widely available in our community is so critical.
