New Crimewatch Live appeal seeks those wanted in riots

New Crimewatch Live issues appeal following summer 2024 disorder

On today's episode of Crimewatch Live, an urgent appeal was made to gather information about individuals involved in last summer's widespread disorder, which unfolded in the aftermath of the tragic events of 29th July 2024. 

Detective Chief Inspector Zoe Hardy is leading Operation Navette, an investigation into the summer 2024 riots. She emphasised the crucial role of the public in identifying those responsible. She was joined by Detective Chief Inspector Grahame Barr from Northumbria Police, and both highlighted the criminal activity that took place, such as arson, theft, criminal damage, and significant disruptions to communities, local businesses, and private residents.

Anyone with information about last summer's widespread disorder or those involved can contact our charity anonymously by visiting the Most Wanted section of our website or calling 0800 555 111 and referencing 'Operation Navette'.

You can also contact the police directly through their online portal.
