We formulate a criterion which guarantees a local regularity of a suitable weak solution $v$ to the Navier--Stokes equations (in the sense of L. Caffarelli, R. Kohn and L. Nirenberg [3]). The criterion shows that if $(x_0,t_0)$ is a singular point of solution $v$ then the $L^3$--norm of $v$ concentrates in an amount greater than or equal to some $\epsilon>0$ in an arbitrarily small neighbourhood of $x_0$ at all times $t$ in some left neighbourhood of $t_0$. As a partial result, we prove that a localized solution satisfies the strong energy inequality.

Keywords: Navier-Stokes equations, regularity., suitable weak solution.
