A former bouncer fed up with crime and anti-social behaviour on his Gateshead estate has started carrying out his own security patrols in a bid to tackle the problem head-on.
Jonny Wilkinson, from St James Village, said crime on the estate has been getting increasingly worse over the years with burglaries, theft and car break-ins becoming an almost daily occurrence for residents.
The personal trainer said the final straw was when vandals caused damage to his car worth £1,000 to repair, leading him to cover his home in CCTV cameras.
