A former bouncer has begun night time security patrols as his estate is plagued by thieves and vandals.
Jonny Wilkinson said crime in his neighbourhood has been worsening and residents are facing daily burglaries, theft and car break-ins.
When thugs caused £1,000 worth of damage to Jonny's car it prompted him to take action and cover his home in St James Village estate, Gateshead, with CCTV cameras.
