Police Stations and interviews can feel like a very hostile environment for an individual. They might have never been inside a police station before, having never been arrested or held in custody. Perhaps they don’t feel able to answer questions, but do have a defence or partial defence they want to place on record. Prepared statements can be prepared prior to attending the police station. In some circumstances, they can be drawn up in our offices rather than in the high-pressured environment of the police station. If you would like expert legal advice to explore options available to you during a police interview, then please contact our team via our website or by calling us on 0207 936 6329. #Solicitors #PoliceStation #Statement #CriminalDefence

🤔 Don't assume a phone call is authentic just because they know your name. #CourierFraud often targets vulnerable and elderly people via calls to their landline or mobile telephones from withheld numbers from someone purporting to be a police officer or figure of authority. The criminal then proceeds to inform the victim of fraudulent activity on their bank account and sometimes claims that their bank staff are involved to deter them from contacting the bank another way. The criminal then often directs the victim to attend their local bank to withdraw a large amount of cash and to return home where it will be collected by a police courier for examination – who is actually a criminal associate. Alternatively, the criminal asks the victim to handover their bank card and personal information to that same courier. Work at the #NEROCU continues to pursue fraudsters and bring them to justice, but officers are also determined to make sure the public feel confident and capable of challenging scammers to help catch them in the act and report them in real time. We want to empower victims and raise awareness of the complex scams being used to dupe people out of their hard earned cash. No reputable organisation will mind if you take your time, challenge them, or ask for proof and hang up. If in doubt, speak to someone you trust, drop into your local bank or call the number given on your official bank statement. If you’re sent a link by text or email don’t click it, report it. 📲 For help and advice visit the #ActionFraud website. If you need to report a crime or suspicious activity please speak to your local police force.

A Cognisable Offence is one in which a police officer has the authority to make an arrest without a warrant and initiate an investigation with or without court permission. This type of offence is considered serious, as it allows the police to act immediately to prevent further harm or escalation, ensuring swift action in maintaining law and order. Adv.

📜 Under section 1 of the Prevention of Crime Act 1953, carrying an offensive weapon in public without lawful authority or reasonable excuse is a criminal offence. The burden of proof lies with the person carrying it. Simply forgetting about the weapon isn’t a valid defence. Offensive weapons include those made, adapted, or intended for use to cause injury, such as truncheons, broken bottles, and bicycle chains. Certain items, like police batons, are lawful only in specific circumstances. #uklaw #offensiveweapons

Drug dealers who exploit children will now face punishment under a new law being introduced by the new government. As part of a comprehensive crackdown on crime, the upcoming king’s speech on 17 July is expected to outline measures that include a new offence of child criminal exploitation. This initiative is aimed at addressing the alarming issue of children being used in "county lines" drugs running, where they are coerced, manipulated or blackmailed into carrying and concealing illegal substances. A police source has indicated that this new law would help simplify the prosecution of such offences. #ChildProtection #CrimePrevention #LabourGovernment #JusticeReforms

🆕 If the polls are correct, many current and former ministers will be looking for post-election job opportunities, but nine months after the government committed to fundamental reform of the 'revolving door' between politics and business, there’s no sign of the promised changes. ✉ That means that after the next election, the only sanction current ministers who breach the rules could face from the regulator, the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments - ACOBA, is – as its chair Lord Pickles has put it – “an unpleasant letter from me and a couple of days of bad publicity in the press.” 🎯 It would be a cynical and damaging legacy for this government to leave if its promise of a legally binding ministerial deed and fines for breaches, are not introduced this side of an election. ✍ In our latest blog, Susan Hawley examines current oversight of the 'revolving door' between politics and business, the reforms the government promised and what measures others like the Committee on Standards in Public Life have previously recommended. 📆 With the next general election on the horizon, the time to act is now. #standards #integrity #revolvingdoor

🚨 One in the cells after targeted police action carried out to tackle fraud. Yesterday #NEROCU officers executed a warrant on Coxwold Road in Stockton-on-Tees that is believed to be involved in an illegal streaming operation involving fraud and money laundering. The specialist police operation resulted in a 52-year-old man being arrested under suspicion of supplying articles for use in fraud and money laundering. He has since been released under investigation while enquiries continue. Officers at the scene also seized a large quantity of clothing believed to be counterfeit. While most people think paying for illegal streaming devices and services is a victimless crime – this couldn’t be further from the truth. Illegal streaming services that supply entertainment and sports content via modified boxes, firesticks, and subscriptions, help fund wider organised crime such as human trafficking, child sexual exploitation, drug supply and other sinister crimes. We’re also warning users of the many other risks associated with illegal streaming, including fraud, scams, exposure to inappropriate content, viruses, and malware. 🚫 Under the banner of #OpSentinel we will continue to disrupt and tackle serious and organised crime here in the North East.
