Three men, arrested by Lincolnshire Police, have be charged with five thefts of lead from the roofs of East Riding churches.

Paul Buica, age 25, of George Street, Birmingham, Constantin Motescu, 31, of  Stebbings, Sutton Hill, Telford and Luarentiu Sucea, 38, of George Street, Birmingham all appeared at court recently charged with a number of offences in Lincolnshire but also offences committed in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Offences in the Humberside police area that the men are charged with are the theft of lead from churches in Sigglesthorne, Hutton, Harpham, Bransburton and Langtoft.

Inspector Rob Cocker said, “This is an excellent outcome and I am sure it will reassure the rural community that we can and will arrest those responsible for crimes in our towns and villages.

“These thefts have a huge impact on the churches involved, not only financially, the damage often caused can take months to repair, impacting on their services and support to the local community.  It also has a big impact on the local residents too who value their local heritage.

“I would ask people to still remain vigilant and keep an eye on their local historic buildings as, although these three men have been charged, there may be others who would want to commit crime in our communities.  Always report suspicious activity to us and we will act on your information.”

#OpYellowfin – Tackling motorcycle related crime and antisocial behaviour
#OpYellowfin continues to be on the lookout for motorbikes which may be stolen, ridden dangerously or illegally and are joining forces with officers from #OpGalaxy on the first of several intensification days, tomorrow, Wednesday 24 June.
 
Officers working under #OpYellowfin are dedicated to their task and continue to stop offenders, arrest suspects and recover stolen property, making our communities safer for everyone.
Inspector Mark Peasgood, Op Yellowfin lead for Hull and the East Riding said, “There has been no let-up in action against criminals stealing motorbikes and using them to commit crime and we have already seen positive result throughout Humbersides social media accounts. These intensification days will provide additional officers and staff that are dedicated to the issues of motorcycle related crime faced by our communities.
“We do have hot-spot areas across Hull and the East Riding that we pay particular attention to, but we know that other people experience problems and always want to hear about these issues so we can deal with them before they become bigger problems.
 
“I cannot stress enough how important it is for us to hear from our residents about the issues they are experiencing.
 
“I would also appeal for our communities to work with us by providing us any information about stolen bikes, scooters, mopeds etc being stored in lockups and garages, this information helps us recover stolen property and arrest those involved.”
 
Do you have information about stolen motorcycles being stored or about people near you committing motorcycle related crime and antisocial behaviour?
 
If you have information, either call us on 101 or use the online reporting form on this link: www.humberside.police.uk/report-it and quote ‘Yellowfin’ to our call takers and officers.
 
Inspector Peasgood continues, “As part of our continued work on #OpYellowfin, officers will proactively stop motorcyclists. This will not just be because we suspect them to be riding a stolen bike or riding in an antisocial way but also, with the support of the motorcycling community, stopping them to talk about their safety and the security of their own bikes.
 
“We plan to give those riders information about Op Yellowfin to increase the knowledge of bike safety and crime prevention.
 
“I appeal for you to support our work and let us know of any information you have, not only now, but as we continue to bring to justice those who commit motorcycle related crime and anti-social behaviour.”

Over 250 cannabis plants seized from Beverley Road address


A cannabis factory was discovered at an address on Beverley road in Hull on Sunday, 21 June, as the central neighbourhood team carried out a misuse of drugs act warrant.

The warrant came about after officers from the local team spotted suspicious activity whilst out on regular patrols in the area. They carried out enquiries and built up the intelligence which enabled them to secure the misuse of drugs warrant.

A total of 285 plants were found inside the address along with around 4kg of carefully cut dried cannabis, all of which has now been seized. 

Community Beat Manager PC Tim McGowan said: “We know the impact that cannabis cultivation and the associated crime that often goes with it, can have on a community which is why we take it so seriously.

“This was a sophisticated set up, with modifications made to the building including the removal of a stair case, to facilitate the grow.

“We are pleased to say that this activity has been disrupted and the cannabis grown here is now off our streets and cannot be used for criminal gain.

“We will not tolerate anyone that commits offences in our communities and I would encourage anyone with concerns or information about crime to get in touch so that we can investigate and take action.”

If you have information about crime or ASB in your area please call us on 101 to report it. If you would prefer to report information anonymously you can do so via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. In an emergency always dial 999.

A crime has been reported in your neighbourhood


Good Afternoon I monitor your group on Facebook and have seen posts about persons acting suspicious in the area. It appears to be a unknown person targeting the location around Silverdale, Riversdale and Strathmore area trying car doors and walking down driveways checking out outbuildings.

I have checked the police systems and can confirm that from the 1st June there has been 1 Garage Burglary and 1 Attempt burglary in the area. There has been 1 theft of motor vehicle and 1 attempt theft of a motor vehicle where a male was arrested. 

The neighbourhood team will up our presence in the area and I have asked the night patrols to pay attention to the area.

I am sure that some suspicious activity is not been reported to police in the area, can you please call any suspicious activity to the Police on 999 and report any crimes that occur. We have a great chance of catching those involved if it is reported at the time.
 
Vehicles .

Don’t make it easy for thieves. Make sure you lock your car doors and windows every time you leave it.

.-Secure your car registration documents at home, never leave them in your car.

-Think about where you’re parking. Use a well-lit, secure car park.

-Don’t leave anything on show – CDs, cheque books, even an old coat on show inside as they may be tempting for thieves.

-With satnavs in particular, make sure you remove the device from view including its cradle.

-Consider investing and using an alarm as a deterrent.

Shed and Garages 
- Make sure sheds and garages have good quality lock and hinges.

- Consider fitting deterrents in the garden like movement sensitive floodlights as these will leave thieves feeling exposed. Likewise alarms on sheds and garages will deter thieves as they would not want to be spotted in out buildings taking property.

- Garden tools, DIY equipment and leisure items such as fishing and golf equipment should be locked away in storage cupboards within outbuildings to form a second line of defence to thieves. 

- Motorbike and pedal cycles should also be locked even when they are in a shed or garage.

-To assist the police in recovering and returning stolen property, people should register valuables onto www.Immobilise.com. Cycles, golf and fishing equipment and tools can be easily added onto the property register and then this assists the force in identifying property as stolen/lost, bring offenders to justice and stop the items being sold via second hand stores. The system can also allow owners to upload pictures of unique items.
