These are some of the most serious criminals from the Wearside and Durham areas who were jailed in January.

Their crimes range from conspiring to supply class A drugs and grievous bodily harm, to theft and possessing offensive weapons. It is not a list of all offenders jailed, but of those who have committed offences where our police forces have deemed it worthy to release their custody photographs to the public.
