Rural Task Force East Riding of Yorkshire (Humberside Police)

Protecting our communities, wildlife and heritage

Humberside Police have set up a new dedicated unit focusing on tackling rural, wildlife and heritage crimes within the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The Rural Task Force will be based at Driffield Police Station, ideally placed within the ‘Capital of the Wolds’ and will consist of four police constables and one sergeant.

The team will be targeting those who chose to commit crime within our rural communities.

The Inspector leading the Rural Task Force is Neighbourhood Police Inspector Jon Powell, he said, “Over the years Humberside Police have worked tirelessly to tackle rural crime and help to make our rural communities feel safer. This new team will focus on disruption of criminal activities, apprehension, arrest, charging and prosecution of offenders.

“All with the aim of deterring others from committing similar offences. This will send out a clear message that rural, wildlife and heritage crime will not be tolerated.

“The team will be building on existing relationships with local rural communities, groups and businesses which will develop and support them in tackling crimes that affect them most.”

The Rural Task Force will continue the pro-active work already undertaken by our community teams who are targeting hare coursing and poaching, marine wildlife disturbance, raptor persecution as well as offences around hunting with dogs, badger baiting and heritage crime.

There is also a focus on supporting and co-ordinating disruption around plant and agricultural theft and associated crimes.

The Rural Task Force will be working in partnership with Humberside Fire and Rescue utilising the latest drone technology to achieve best evidence of hunting and poaching offences, and also East Riding of Yorkshire Council with further enforcement opportunities around Community Protection Warnings and Notices for those who commit wildlife crime within our area.

A close working relationship has already been established with neighbouring forces and the Rural Task Force intend to continue this with increased sharing of intelligence and information to target those who travel across the border to commit offences.

On Wednesday 27 January 2021 the team worked alongside North Yorkshire Rural Task Force in a joint cross border night time operation targeting night time poaching and acquisitive crime within the rural communities of Humberside and Ryedale setting a clear intent of partnership working from day one.

Four men sentenced to over 22 years in jail for church lead thefts (Humberside Police)

Crime Update

Four men have been jailed for a combined 22 years 7 months for the theft of lead from churches across the country, including six in our region.

The four defendants stripped tonnes of lead from Grade 1 and Grade 2 churches between May 2018 and March 2020 - costing 36 churches across the country total of almost £2.1m. The amount the defendants would have made from scrapping the lead would have been much lower than the cost to the churches.

All four men have previously pleaded guilty to a total of 36 offences and on Wednesday 6 January 2021 were sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court.

Constantin Motescu, 32, of Stebbings, Sutton Hill, Telford, admitted 23 charges of theft.
Paul Buica, 25, of George Street, Birmingham, admitted 16 thefts.
Mihai Birtu, 24, of Port Street, Evesham, admitted 14 thefts.
Laurentiu Sucea, 38, of George Street, Birmingham, admitted 13 thefts. The offences occurred between May 2018 and March 2020.

Motescu and Sucea were each jailed for six and a half years. Buica was jailed for six years. Birtu was jailed for three years and seven months.

Humberside Police’s own Heritage Crime Officer Rich Fussey said, “This is a really fantastic result and shows how seriously this type of offence is taken.

“The impact the thefts on six of our local churches: St Lawrence Church, Sigglesthorne; St Marys Church, Lockington; St Peters Church, Langtoft; St Peters Church, Wawne; St Peters Church, Hutton and St Johns Church, Harpham, was heart-breaking for the local residents.

“The loss to the churches involved in our region and across the country is enormous, not just in the material cost but in the impact on the local communities and congregations.

“We supported the investigation which was led by Lincolnshire Police and are happy to share the outcome of their thorough and successful investigations.”

Lincolnshire Police’s Detective Chief Inspector Jon Shield, lead the investigation and said, “Working in partnership with other forces and agencies including the Diocese of Lincoln and Historic England, our dedicated Op History team have worked tirelessly to ensure justice is served.

“Some of the church congregations are still struggling to find the funds to repair the damage and restore their significant historical buildings which means so much to them as well as the local communities they serve.

"The impact of these offences goes well beyond the significant financial cost. Communities have felt a great sense of loss at the damage caused to their heritage, and increased vulnerability due to the rural nature of many of the premises.
“It is still unclear what these defendants spent the money they gained from these thefts on and investigations into this is still ongoing.

“Some of the buildings are thousands of years old so these men have potentially destroyed hundreds of years of our heritage.”

Historic England
Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive of Historic England said: “The outcome of this case highlights the benefits of collaborative working between the Police, Crown Prosecution Service, church communities and Historic England and is an approach we shall continue to use when dealing with metal theft.

“The theft of metal from historic church buildings is a serious and organised crime.

"Removing large areas of lead or copper from roofs has not just a serious financial effect on church communities but a huge effect on their morale.”

Mark Harrison, Head of Heritage Crime Strategy for Historic England said: “The metal stolen will have historic and cultural value and its removal leads to irreparable damage to protected heritage buildings, which is why tackling this problem is so important.”

Churches were targeted across Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Avon and Somerset, Suffolk, Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Countrywide the churches targeted:
St Marys Church, Gamlingay, Cambridgeshire

Vulnerability - keeping people safe Over recent years Humberside Police has made considerable effort to focus on Vulnerability. Everyone in the organisation has a responsibility to ensure the most vulnerable people in our communities are protected. Very often as a police service we are the first point of contact for many people. Having this contact enables us to identify vulnerabilities at an early stage. This will ensure that people who need support and protection receive the correct level of service from both the police and our partners such as social care, mental health services and services in the third sector. A person is vulnerable if as a result of their situation or circumstances, they are unable to take care or protect themselves, or others, from harm or exploitation. Protecting vulnerable children and adults. What do we do ? by providing public reassurance through effective deployment of our resources by working with our partners (ONGO, other social housing providers, NLC Safer Neighbourhoods, Victim Support, REMEDI) gather intelligence in relation to any incident involving a vulnerable person to minimise the risk to them maximise opportunities to secure evidence when offences are committed against vulnerable people to ensure offenders are brought to justice and reduce the risk of further victimisation UPDATE 07/02/2021 We have been working closely with ONGO Homes to address vulnerability for a couple of their tenants. We have been providing support and advice and ensuring the tenants receive a wrap around service from partner agencies to help them with their concerns regarding antisocial behaviour.
Operation Yellowfin Overall calls for service for off road motorbikes and quad bikes have reduced significantly in North Lincolnshire however the team continue to receive reports from the community of this antisocial behaviour on the ward. We continue to undertake Op Yellowfin 'days of action' which is seeing more and more nuisance motorbikes being stopped and seized. We want to be clear- we will not be tolerating the criminal use of motorcycles in this way and we will use all powers at our disposal to recover bikes being used in this way and to hold those responsible to account. We are appealing for information from our local communities as to the details of who is responsible for riding these bikes and also where they are being stored or housed and so would encourage people with information to make contact on either 101 or alternatively, anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800555 111. UPDATE 07/02/ 2021: We have responded to reports of off road biking on land adjacent to Keadby Power Station. We are conducting enquiries to identify who the riders are to deal with them using a range of options including seizure of the quads, and pursuing road traffic offences.
