Retail crime and Antisocial Behaviour on Gallagher and North Lincs. Retail Parks

We are aware of some instances of retail crime and anti-social behaviour on the Gallagher Retail Park and North Lincolnshire Shopping Park and our teams are active in this area.

We routinely patrol these areas and engage with stores to prevent future occurences of theft and antisocial behaviour. 

Our team also make sure we monitor calls for service in this area and ensure we are able to develop our problem solving activities accordingly. 

Door Step Crime - North Lincolnshire

To support the prevention of crime in our communities, we have been working with North Lincolnshire council and launched Trade Watch to help stop residents in rural areas being a target of crime.

The voluntary scheme has been created following reports of door step crime across the county.

It will enable residents to feel safe in their community and send out a clear message that rogue traders and criminal activity will not be accepted.

As part of the scheme, residents will agree not to commit to any work offered on the doorstep and report any suspicious companies or activities to the police.

Residents in rural areas can sign up to the scheme, once they do, they will receive a Trade Watch window sticker and supporting information.

Where full streets or villages take part in the scheme, street signs are available for them to display.

Living in a Trade Watch area will reduce the risk of being approached or becoming a victim of door step crime.
