Crime Series Brigg and Wolds (Humberside Police)

Crime Update

Good Morning,

I know its probably not the number one thing on every bodies minds at the moment but I wanted to provide you with an update on the Crime Series currently affecting Brigg and Wolds.

Since my last message on 18th March 2020 there have been a number of further offences however the type and distribution have changed. Now that the stolen vehicle has been recovered the suspects have been cut off from attacking the Low Villages and all offences have been in Brigg. There also been no further reported vehicle related crime. There were two commercial burglaries in and around the Market Place in the early hours of 19th March 2020. Entry was gained due to insecurities at both locations.

There were a further two residential burglaries on Wrawby Road and Churchill Avenue this time in the late afternoon to early evening on 22nd March 2020. The property on Wrawby Road had an insecure shed entered and the other property was broken into at the rear whilst the occupants were out.

It is clear the offending pattern has changed and we will be changing our response to meet it. The group we suspect to be responsible are set to be moved out of Brigg in the coming days. This same group have been identified as the ones that stole the children's scooters from Brigg Primary School which I sent a message out about on 21st March 2020. Once the suspects have been charged I will be able to reveal their details.

Although incidents have decreased we cannot afford to lapse on our security consciousness. With everything else that's going on please just do what you can to look out for each other and stay safe during this difficult time. The Police are operating as usual but are just reinforcing the government advice to stay at home so please do not attend local Police Stations and use 101 to report non emergency incidents or use the link below to report online:

Stolen Scooters Returned to Brigg School Children (Humberside Police)

Good News!

Last night officers from Brigg Neighbourhood Policing Team were able to reunite two school children with their stunt Scooters after they had been taken from Brigg Primary School. This was thanks to the keen observation of our two PCSO's Kevin HORSFALL and Shane MOODY. They were at a property for other matters and thought the Scooter's looked out of place. This coupled with knowledge of recently reported thefts easily identified the owner of one of the scooters. Together they were worth £500! The other had not been reported as stolen but luckily the owner of one of the scooters knew another child had theirs taken and was able to put us in contact with the victim. The victim stated they did not report it as it was only a Scooter and did not think there was anything we could do.

This just goes to show how important it is to report incidents to the Police no matter how small. It's is not very often we get to return stolen property in this way which was immensely rewarding for us but also brought happiness to the two children in this difficult time. It may only be a small chance you get stolen property back if you do report it however if you don't there is next to no chance at all.

The Police are the Public and the Public are the Police. Without the public's support the Police cease to function.

Please if you have not already register you valuable property at: www.immobilise.com/

Immobilise allows you to upload picture of your property so it can be identified even it it does not have stamped serial numbers.

Vehicle Crime Series - Brigg and Wolds (Humberside Police)

Crime Update: Vehicle Crime Series

Good Evening,

I am writing to update you regarding the vehicle crime series in Brigg and Wolds Ward. In my last update I spoke about the stolen Fiat Qubo from Tunnel Road in Wrawby being used to commit these offences.

Last night officers from the Roads Policing Team sighted the vehicle in Brigg at around 02:10 hours (18/03/2020). The vehicle failed to stop and after a short pursuit the driver ditched the vehicle and made good their escape. The vehicle was recovered and was sent for Examination by Scenes of Crime Officers.

We are hopeful that DNA and/or finger prints will finally provide us with evidence to bring these offenders to justice. Later in the morning between 04:30 hours to 06:30 hours a silver Renault Clio was stolen from an address on Grammar School Road. It was later found abandoned opposite Preston Drive in a ditch. Enquiries are ongoing to gather evidence around this incident. It is clear from this that those responsible are trying to source another vehicle to continue their activities.

All departments have been briefed about this series and the area is now getting patrols from not only Response and Community Officer but from our Roads Policing and Armed Response Colleagues when they are not dealing with ongoing incidents. Each incident is also being reviewed by the Criminal Investigation Department to identify evidence gathering opportunities along with an Intelligence Analyst being assigned from the Intelligence unit to keep track of everything.

Please spread the word amongst your neighbours and remember to lock your vehicles, take valuables out of your car and keep your properties secure. All the information we have at the moment points to the suspects being opportunistic. They are trying doors rather than breaking and entering. Do not give them that opportunity.

To report Crime that is NOT in progress you can call on 101 or use our online reporting form at: www.humberside.police.uk/non-emergency-crime

To report an incident in progress please use 999.

We actively monitor Social Media and it is apparent that this issue is a lot more prevalent than our figures suggest as people are not reporting incidents to Police as their vehicles are being entered but nothing taken. I cannot stress enough the importance of reporting all incidents no matter how small along with any suspicious activity. This will help us identify patterns of offending and target resources accordingly.

You can also register your valuable property to ensure the Police can return it to you if it is recovered after being stolen at: www.immobilise.com/

COVID19 - Community Action Response (Humberside Police)

Community Safety News

Community Action Response in relation to COVID- 19 - five things you can do -

1. Think of others, consider your actions & be kind: People in every community will face the challenges of COVID-19 in some way – from needing basic provisions to help while they are unwell.

2. Connect and reach out to your neighbours: as self-isolation increases, we need to find new ways to stay connected and check in on one another for our physical and mental wellbeing. Share phone numbers and stay in touch.

3. Make the most of local online groups: Keep up to date, share information and be a positive part of your local community conversations using platforms like Nextdoor.

4. Support vulnerable or isolated people: different groups in our communities are at increased risk and social isolation and loneliness are key concerns for all ages. There are things you can do like volunteering for local support services or donating to food banks to help.

5. Share accurate information and advice: Support anyone who may be anxious about COVID-19. Sign post them to the correct advice from Public Health England and encourage people to follow the correct hygiene practices.

Your local policing community team are there when you need us for any advice or assistance, you can contact police on 101 for non emergency or 999 for crimes in action/emergency incidents. Remember there is lots of advice and information on our Humberside Police website.

Vehicle Crime Series: Wrawby Worlaby South Ferriby (Humberside Police)

Crime Update: Vehicle Crime Series

We have recently sent out information regarding a series of vehicle crimes taking place in the villages between Brigg and South Ferriby. Officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Team for Brigg and Wolds have identified that this is part of a series being committed by what looks to be the same group of individuals.

The incidents began in Brigg and then moved out to Wrawby where a vehicle was stolen from Tunnel Road. We believe this vehicle, a silver Fiat Qubo Active, has been used by the same group to reach further afield to Worlaby and South Ferriby. There appears to be a group of three unknown persons who are committing these crimes together. See attached images from CCTV footage.

If you see a similar vehicle being driven around please report it to Police immediately using 999 and tell the call handler you belive you have sighted a Stolen Motor Vehicle. If the vehicle is stationary unattended please call 101. I have not included the registration due to data protection and it is likely the plates will be altered.

I was due to finish my tour of duty yesterday at 23:00 hours but have stayed on until now to provide a dedicated patrol focussing on this issue. Unfortunately after spending four hours between Brigg and South Ferriby I have not been able to catch them in the act.

PCSO MOODY, PCSO HORSFALL and I have all been out earlier today collecting and collating CCTV footage to try and identify these people responsible. What has become apparent is that not all incidents are being reported. Please can I ask that no matter how minor or even if your vehicle has been entered and nothing taken please take the time to report the incidents. That way we can justify diverting our resources to focus on this issue which is becoming a wide reaching problem.

Please spread the word amongst your neighbours and remember to take valuables out of your car and keep your properties secure. All the information we have at the moment points to the suspects being opportunistic. They are trying car doors rather than breaking windows.

To report Crime that is NOT in progress you can call on 101 or use our online reporting form at: www.humberside.police.uk/non-emergency-crime

You can also register your valuable property to ensure the Police can return it to you if it is recovered after being stolen at: www.immobilise.com/
