Rural crime is not limited to the farmyard. Serious and organized crime groups are often linked to rural and wildlife crime particularly in relation to theft of agricultural machinery and poaching like hare coursing.

Throughout last year we have worked with volunteers on the Rural Watches across the East Riding to deter rural criminality. In addition, we will utilize all the available technology, crime prevention techniques and assistance from the Rural Crime Team to deter and detect crime

This period is always one of our busiest, however, we would like to offer reassurance to residents and a stark reminder to those intent of causing harm or committing offences, that we are out in force and ready to act against anyone involved in vehicle crime.

We aim to reduce vehicle related crime by raising awareness within the local community about vehicle security as well as providing crime prevention advice to community members.

During the winter months, it is usual for us to see crimes such as burglary and theft rise, particularly if houses and vehicles are unattended. Please follow a security routine and check windows, doors and vehicles are secure before settling down for the evening. Visit our website for further advice www.humberside.police.uk

During the winter months, members of our Policing Teams will continue to be out to minimize crime and ASB. We will maximize crime reduction opportunities by targeting offenders and providing advice to homes and businesses along with high visibility patrolling.
