Lockdown and Search at Warkworth Institution

In Local

On August 1, 2023, a lockdown was put in place at Warkworth Institution to enable staff members to conduct an exceptional search.

The search was ordered to ensure the safety and security of the institution, its staff, and inmates.

Visits have been suspended until the search is completed. Normal operations will resume as soon as it is considered safe to do so.
