Former council worker launched attack on girlfriend hitting her over head with phone
A former council worker hit his former partner over the head with a phone, a court heard. Brian Wood launched the assault on his girlfriend on January 19 in Middlesbrough. The 51-year-old hit the woman twice across her face which 'knocked her glasses off' then 'hit her over the head with her mobile phone'. Teesside Magistrates' Court heard how paramedics were called to the home following the assault, with the woman left with blood on her top and Wood with scratches on his arm. Prosecutor Heather Blair outlined that the victim was the partner of the defendant at the time of the offence. The court heard that Wood admitted his actions in an interview and when police attended the home address. Ms Blair added that police were called by the North East Ambulance Service after the woman disclosed an assault. She told paramedics that Wood had 'hit her over the head with a mobile phone'. When officers attended, Wood was found with 'scratches on his arm' and 'blood on his shirt', telling officers he had 'been involved in an incident with his partner'. The woman was also found with blood on her top. Ms Blair told the court that Wood had hit twice across her face which 'knocked her glasses off' then 'hit her over the head with her mobile phone'. Wood told police that he 'didn't want to be in the relationship' and had previously left but returned due to financial reasons as his money 'got paid into her bank'. Wood, who spent 20 years working for Middlesbrough Council, pleaded guilty to assault by beating as the court heard he had one previous conviction dating back to 1998. Paul McGee, mitigating, stated that his client has made 'full admissions' and suffered abuse in the relationship. The defence barrister added that Wood has moved back in with his elderly parents and receives Personal Independence Payment (PIP) benefit. District Judge Helen Cousins handed Wood, of Barton Stacey, Hampshire, a £209 court bill and a 16 week electronically monitored curfew from 9pm until 6am.

100 arrests after Sunderland riots as police 'remain absolutely committed' to tracking down remaining offenders
Northumbria Police continues its search for 19 offenders linked to riots in Sunderland last August, with 100 arrests and 39 convictions made relating to the ugly violence this time last year. Serious and sustained disorder occurred across the country in the days following the horrific murders of Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, in Southport, Merseyside. Six months ago, Axel Rudakubana - who was 17 years old at the time - was jailed for life and must serve a minimum of 52 years for the sadistic killings and the attempted murder of 10 others. Riots and order were fuelled by online misinformation about the attacker's identity. On Monday, the National Police Chiefs' Council has released pictures of a number of people suspected being involved in "some of the most serious disorder" in Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Bristol, Bolton and Southport. There are 19 suspects apiece in Sunderland and Middlesbrough, four in Bolton, six in Bristol, and nine in Southport.

Det Ch Inspr Graeme Barr of Northumbria Police's Major Investigation Team (MIT) said: "Following the disgraceful disorder in Sunderland last August, we immediately launched a full investigation to identify all of those responsible. To date, more than 100 arrests have been made with 39 people convicted and sentenced for their parts and a total of 60 years of prison time handed out. "Let us be clear that we remain absolutely committed to ensuring that all of those who took part in criminality that day are brought to justice. Our work to trace all individuals remains ongoing and we'd ask that anyone with information which could identify any of the 19 people whose images have been released this week to contact us." The latest available national statistics show that 1,876 people have been arrested, with 1,110 charged from last year's disorder. 820 people have been convicted for their roles in the disorder, with the CPS achieving a conviction rate of 95%. ACC Ian Drummond-Smith is the National Police Chiefs' Council investigation lead for Operation Navette, which was set up in the wake of last summer's violence. He said: "The serious violence we witnessed in communities across the country last summer was completely unacceptable. "In the face of this, officers responded bravely to protect the public and swiftly launched investigations to identify those involved, with hundreds already apprehended and brought before the courts. This effort, supported by the Crown Prosecution Service and other criminal justice partners, was undoubtedly instrumental in bringing an end to the disorder and restoring peace to our towns and cities. "Over the past year investigators have continued to diligently review footage and other evidence relating to the disorder and we will continue our efforts to bring those involved to justice. We are releasing images of a number of suspects involved in some of the most serious disorder across several force areas, and I would urge members of the public to support us by getting in touch if they have any information relating to the identities of these individuals." There have been localised protests this summer, some of which have escalated into public disorder, such as in Epping where several people have been charged. Closer to home, one person is set to appear in court after being drunk and disorderly at a protest outside an asylum hotel in Newcastle at the weekend. ACC Drummond-Smith added: "While policing has always facilitated peaceful protest, where this escalates to criminality and public disorder we will continue to respond robustly and conduct a thorough investigation to ensure those responsible face justice for their actions. Following the events of last summer, we reviewed our national and regional processes, which has further enhanced our ability to respond and investigate offences in a timely and effective manner." Members of the public can view the images that have been released and supply information via the special crime reporting portal at Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online by searching 'Crimestoppers UK'.
