POLICE will today launch post boxes they hope will help them tackle rural crime in north Durham.
The two beat bobbies and community support officer who cover Delves Lane, Crookhall and the east of Consett have arranged for metal, lockable boxes to be installed in three locations.
The Crimepost scheme will work like a postal version of the Crimestoppers telephone line. Residents will be able to anonymously leave complaints about non-urgent matters.
