Brigg and Wolds

We are urging cycle owners to make cycle security and registration their New Year’s resolution.

Bikes are always popular presents - from that memorable first bike to the latest top-spec machine for an enthusiastic amateur.

We are urging people to get any new gifts they have bought or receive over Christmas registered free with the property logging website www.Immobilise.com. 

Doing so will mean your valuables are more likely to be returned if lost or stolen, as well as potentially catching a criminal in possession of stolen goods.

Officers investigating a fatal collision on the Eastbound A180 are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

The incident happened at around 9.30pm on Sunday, December 18, when a white Vauxhall Combo van collided with a stationary Scania lorry, parked in a layby close to Barnetby Top.

The driver of the van, who is yet to be identified, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

A lucky member of the public who used a Brigg ATM on Friday, June 17 - but left the money behind - has got their cash back.

And, after appealing for the owner to come forward earlier today, we have now reunited them with their money.

Thanks for all your help.
