The seat, forged by a local family over 25 years ago, had become a prominent fixture in the area, holding sentimental value for many of Ebchester’s residents. Positioned on the steep incline of Chare Bank, the seat was often used by pedestrians as a resting spot and had developed into a key part of the community’s heritage.
Durham Constabulary is urging anyone with information to come forward, particularly those who may have witnessed suspicious activity in the area during the time of the theft. Residents with any relevant details are encouraged to contact Consett Police by calling 101 and quoting the crime reference number CRI00569313.
