Welcome to North Holderness

You will recall that last month we suffered a total of nine dwelling burglaries in Hornsea and surrounding villages.
What was particularly disappointing was not just the number of offences committed but the fact that in two thirds of cases entry had been via insecurities.
PCSO’s from Hornsea have been working hard to get the message over to the public to ensure their homes/vehicles/valuables are secure at all times.
Three of the nine offences have been detected,a 35yr old male has been charged in connection with the two offences on Cheyne Garth,he is currently remanded in custody awaiting trial for these and other offences of dishonesty and violence.
An 18yr old male has been charged in connection with the burglary on The Crescent.
He pleaded guilty at Magistrates Court to this offence and has been remanded on bail to the Crown Court for sentencing.
Matters have improved greatly this last month albeit we’ve still suffered three dwelling burglaries..
Two occurred on Eastgate,in one two handbags were stolen from the hallway and in the other jewellery was stolen from a bedroom.Unfortunately it would appear both were entered via insecurities.
In the third incident a touring caravan parked to the rear of an address on King Street was entered and property stolen.
A 13yr old male juvenile has been interviewed in connection with this matter,he made a full and frank admission and has been summonsed to appear before the Beverley Youth Court at a future date.
We will continue to work to prevent and detect offences but we need you the public to do your bit by making sure you make life as hard as possible for any potential burglar.

I’m going to mention a couple of incidents this month that illustrate how the neighbourhood team is tackling anti social behaviour in the town.
In the first incident a member of the public walking his dog approached officers on foot patrol late one evening concerned that a group of youths were stealing flowers from the the Memorial Gardens.
The officers found half a dozen teenagers,a mixture of males and females,stood at the adjacent bus stop on New Road.
There were numerous daffodil stems strewn over the road and pavement.
It appears the group were waiting to see two of the girls who live in Hull off onto the late bus.
The lads had picked the flowers with the intention of impressing their sweethearts,it appears they were not impressed by this token of affection and the flowers ended up being thrown about.
Fortunately only the stems were plucked,the bulbs remain intact in the ground and will thus blossom again next Spring.
In the second incident a female resident of Eastgate was concerned about two youths climbing a tree in Hallgarth Park behind her property.
She was concerned for their safety if they fell and also regarding the foul and abusive language they were using.
When she politely asked them to curb it bearing in mind she had young children within earshot they merely continued.
The police were called and both lads were traced and spoken to in the presence of parents.
In both cases Fairway letters were requested via the Safer Communities Team at Beverley.
As I explained last month their purpose is to inform parents what their offspring are upto.
In most cases the one letter does its job and we hear nothing more from the individual concerned.
If however they continue to come to our attention regarding incidents of anti social behaviour further letters can be sent.
The letters are monitored jointly by safer communities and ourselves in monthly meetings we have.
Anyone receiving three such letters will be invited to enter into an Acceptable Behaviour Contract [ABC].
If such a contract is persistently breached we will look at proceeding against the individual by way of an Anti Social Behaviour Order [ASBO] through the courts.
