💰Your bank or police will never contact you and ask you to withdraw cash to help with an investigation or to secure your account.
This is a tell-tale sign of #CourierFraud
📲 Contact local police and Report Fraud, even if you haven’t lost any money.

“If you drive like this again and again, you have to acknowledge that it could happen to you – you are not invincible.”

🚫Say #NoToIllegalDrugs
One time is all it takes to lose a life and devastate families.
Drugs also funds wider serious and organised crime like human trafficking, child sexual exploitation and gun supply.
⚠️Think of the consequences and don't take the risk.

🤍A baby boy whose remains lay undiscovered under floorboards for more than a century has finally been laid to rest.
A small and respectful funeral took place at Town Cemetery in Bishop Auckland, for the baby known affectionately as Baby Auckland.

The service, led by Durham Constabulary in partnership with @DurhamCouncil, brought together members of the community to pay their respects.
The baby was discovered by a builder in 2024 at a property in Fore Bondgate, carefully wrapped in a newspaper dated June 19, 1910.
