Officers investigating a spate of vehicle break-ins across Gateshead have appealed to the public for CCTV.
An investigation has been launched following a spate of incidents over the last 72 hours in Whickham and Teams. On each occasion, an offender has been seen trying to break into a number of parked cars, causing damage to some of the vehicles.
Three separate incidents were reported in Teams after an offender tried to break into parked cars in The Ropery and Watson Street areas in the early hours of Monday June 6. Less than 24 hours later, in the early hours of Tuesday June 7, a man attempted to force his way into vehicles on Millfield Road and Elm Court in Whickham.
