Shanelle Craggs
Case Information & Details
Public criminal case information for Shanelle Craggs in the UK indicates involvement in at least two separate legal proceedings, resulting in convictions for assault and burglary.
In October 2025, Shanelle Craggs, then 21 and residing at Auckland House, High Chare, Chester-le-Street, appeared at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates' Court. She pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including assault by beating and assault causing actual bodily harm in Bishop Auckland, as well as several assaults on police officers at the Spennymoor detention hub on September 16. Craggs received a total sentence of 40 weeks' imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, due to a "realistic prospect of rehabilitation." The court also mandated 200 hours of unpaid work within 12 months and up to 20 days of rehabilitation activities, including drug treatment. Additionally, she was ordered to pay £400 in compensation to one victim and £129 to a police officer for a damaged watch. Her guilty pleas were considered during sentencing.
More recently, in June 2026, Craggs was sentenced at Durham Crown Court for a burglary that occurred in the early hours of October 13 of the previous year (likely 2025). She was armed with a large craft-type knife when she broke into a home in Condon Grange, near Bishop Auckland, while an accomplice, Jordan Hodgson, waited outside. The homeowner confronted Craggs, who then fled. Craggs, whose address was given as Wesley Street, Eldon Lane, admitted burglary at an earlier court appearance, though she had initially denied that the offense was aggravated by carrying a knife. For this offense, she received a 28-month prison sentence. Both Craggs and Hodgson were also made subject to a five-year restraining order prohibiting contact with the burglary victim.
