Residents in the Fulwell and Roker areas have been on high alert over the past fortnight, as a series of attempted break-ins have been reported. Individuals have been caught on CCTV trying to gain access to cars and homes that were left unlocked, prompting widespread concern among the local community.

In the latest CCTV footage, a man can be seen clearly attempting to break into vehicles in the area. A distinctive feature captured in the footage is the carrier bag he was holding, which appears to contain alcohol. The man, whose face is visible in the footage, was also captured last week in the Grange View area trying car doors to gain access. Although the earlier footage was less clear, the man was wearing the same clothing in both incidents.

This pattern of suspicious activity has sparked speculation about the man’s intentions, with some residents wondering if he may have visited a local garage or store before attempting the break-ins. The repeated sightings of this individual have heightened concerns among the community, especially as similar incidents have been reported on social media by other residents.

The recent surge in criminal activity has further fueled anxiety among Fulwell and Roker residents, who are now increasingly worried about the safety of their neighborhoods. Local authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity immediately to the police.

In response to the incidents, law enforcement officials are advising residents to take extra precautions to secure their properties and vehicles, particularly during the early morning hours when many of these attempts have been occurring. Authorities emphasize the importance of locking all vehicles and homes, even if they are left unattended for only a short period.

The Northumbria Police are actively investigating these incidents and have asked anyone with information to come forward. They have reminded the public not to approach the suspect but to contact the police if they witness any suspicious behavior.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Northumbria Police on 101 or provide information anonymously through Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111. Local authorities are committed to addressing this issue and ensuring the safety of the community.
