Witness Appeal - Ancholme River Bank Brigg (Humberside Police)

Witness appeal - Can you help?
Humberside Police have received a report of a Public Order incident on the bank of the river Ancholme under the overpass on Ancholme Way in Brigg. This is the stretch of river bank between Lidl and B&M behind Riverside Surgery.

A woman and her daughter were distressed by a man using threatening language towards them as they walked by. There is no description available of the male as the victim did her best to ignore him and get her daughter away from the situation. The comments that were made towards her would have been likely to cause anyone nearby to turn their attention towards him.

This occurred at around 10:45 hours (AM) on 19th September 2020. Anyone with any information that could help identify a suspect should call Humberside Police on 101 and quote investigation reference number 16/98904/20.

Fixed Penalty Phishing Scam (Humberside Police)

The Neighbourhood Team for Brigg and Wolds have received two similar reports from members of the public in the area regarding a scam relating to a false Fixed Penalty / Parking Charge Notices being issued against them.In both reports the cyber criminals have made contact by email and used a phishing technique to try and obtain money from potential victims. Phishing is where Cyber criminals use fake messages as bait to lure you into clicking on the links within their scam email or text message, or to give away sensitive information (such as bank details).These messages may look like the real thing but are malicious. Once clicked, you may be sent to a non secure website which could download viruses onto your computer, or steal your passwords.The emails purported to be from HM Courts and Tribunal Service and try to infer that you have been charged for using a vehicle in what they call a "charging area".There are three main things that identify this email to be fraudulent:-Email Address: This is the strongest evidence that this email is fraudulent but it is not the most obvious. Whilst the display name of the sender shows as from HM Courts and Tribunals Service the actual email address is very different. Make sure to check the contact details by selecting the display name s and opening the contact details. This process will vary on what device you are using. ONLY CLICK THE DISPLAY NAME IN THE EMAIL HEADER AND NOT ANY LINKS WITHIN THE EMAIL ITSELF. -No Vehicle Details: Legitimate parking enforcement companies contact DVLA to obtain registered keeper detail of vehicles using the Registration, Make and Model of your vehicle. They are only provided with a name and address and not email addresses or telephone numbers. If you had genuinely been issued a Fixed Penalty or a Parking charge Notice you would be contacted by post. If your vehicle has been parked in an area it shouldn't the details of your vehicle will be recorded manually or by some form of electronic monitoring equipment. -Location: The location for the alleged offence. The only information provided about the alleged offence is that it occurred in the United Kingdom. Legitimate Parking Companies or Law Enforcement would state the exact location, date and time. If you have received an email which youâ€™re not quite sure about, forward it to the Suspicious Email Reporting Service (SERS): report@phishing.gov.ukYour report of a phishing email will help us to act quickly, protecting many more people from being affected. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) will analyse the suspect email and any websites it links to. They'll use any additional information youâ€™ve provided to look for and monitor suspicious activity.If they discover activity that they believe is malicious, they may:-Seek to block the address the email came from, so it can no longer send emails-Work with hosting companies to remove links toâ€¯malicious websites-Raise awareness of commonly reported suspicious emails and methods used (via partners)Whilst the NCSC is unable to inform you of the outcome of its review, they can confirm that they do act upon every message received.

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.

Crime prevention burglary advice (Humberside Police)

A burglary has been reported in your neighbourhood

Good Afternoon,

Due to a recent spate of burglaries within the rural villages I feel it is necessary to make you aware of the current spate and offer you relevant crime prevention advice.

At present there seems to be a spate of burglaries which are specifically targetting high powered vehicles, jewellery and cash.

Please be extra vigilant and pass over the following information to those around you. If you see anything which you feel is a bit suspicious please call 101 and report it to Humberside police.

Crime Prevention Advice –

1. Keep all the doors and windows locked.

2. Make your property appear occupied, even when you are out. You could use timers to turn on lights and have blinds set to prevent seeing inside, which may confirm a house is unoccupied.

3. If an offender approaches your house, make sure nothing blocks the view of them, such as garden hedges or trees and make sure the area is well lit so they are easily noticed.

4. Keep valuables in the home out of general view from the opportunist burglar. They may look through windows when deciding if the home contains property they consider worth stealing. Use blinds, nets or other window coverings to prevent this.

5. Fit a burglar alarm with visible, deterrent bell boxes front and rear and keep the system maintained.

Key Activities –

1. Mark your valuables and register them on www.Immobilise.com â€‹ â€‹

2. Consider joining or forming a neighbourhood or business network/group. Offenders are less likely to cause crime in an area where people care.

3. Visit Humberside Police Crime Prevention advice for more information on how to keep yourself and your property safe. Click here to go to site.

4. If going on Holiday download the Secured by Design Holiday checklist.

Make a difference in your community – help us to help you!

Kind Regards,

Brigg and The Wolds Neighbourhood Team.
