Protecting your vehicle from theft (Humberside Police)

Crime prevention advice for Land Rover/Range Rover owners

This month has seen a rise in overnight high value car thefts in your area, especially of Land Rovers and Range Rovers with keyless systems.

Detective Inspector Wendy Lusby said: “We are working hard to catch suspects intent on taking what is not rightfully theirs.

“We have had a successful arrest and vehicle recovery this week in relation to one of the recent thefts and there is a lot of ongoing investigation work taking place behind the scenes working to bring further offenders into custody.

“We know how much a theft of this nature can impact your life, as most people rely on their vehicles to go about their daily business like travelling to work or visiting family.

“I want to reassure you that burglary and vehicle theft remain priority areas for our teams and we will act upon any report of a stolen vehicle.

“It is never your fault for falling victim to this type of crime and you should be able to enjoy your property without fear of it being stolen.

“However, we would like to offer some crime prevention advice aimed at making it more difficult for criminals to target your vehicles.”

Crime prevention tips

Always double check your car is physically secure and alarmed, especially when using keyless locking systems
Keep keys out of sight inside your property; don’t leave near doors, windows or out on worktops
Consider a signal blocking pouch to keep your keys in, readily available on the Internet for a low cost
Use a steering wheel lock
Consider investing in a tracking device. Whilst it won’t necessarily stop the vehicle being stolen, it will significantly increase the chances of locating it and recovering it
Check to see if you can switch off the wireless signal from your fob. This should be in your car manual or through contact with the manufacturer
Park your car as close to your property as possible to make access difficult. Where possible, block your car in with another vehicle or a driveway parking post which would mean the vehicle couldn’t be driven away
Check and make sure that no valuables are left in sight in the vehicle and keep the glove box empty where possible. Consider leaving it open to show there is nothing inside

We take all reports of this nature seriously. If your vehicle is stolen, or you have information regarding a vehicle theft, please contact us on our non-emergency number 101, or speak with your local officers. Always call 999 in an emergency.

Thank you to residents who assisted police chase (Humberside Police)

Man arrested and drugs seized after residents help police chase

Officers spotted a vehicle travelling at speed down Manor Road, Scunthorpe, on the evening of Monday 3 August which then pulled up outside a shop with a man making off from the car.

Following a foot chase that saw many officers in the area of Bottesford, Scunthorpe, a local 45-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs. In custody he was later arrested on suspicion of money laundering, driving without insurance and a further traffic offence.

He has been released under investigation whilst our enquiries continue.

The man was seen to run through multiple gardens and disturb a lot of residents in the area. We want to thank these members of the public that assisted us by giving us access through their properties and gardens, which resulted in his subsequent arrest.

Officers returned to the vehicle and a quantity of suspected cocaine, heroin and around £5000 in cash were seized.

We want to offer reassurance to the community that this is believed to have been an isolated incident.
