Off Road Motorcycles - Across the ward. 

Over recent months we have visited thousands of households across North Lincolnshire and we understand that the antisocial use of off road motorcycles is causing concern in your community. The policing team have been working really hard to respond to local concerns in respect of this issue and while good progress was made around Foxhills Rd, Scunthorpe we recognise that there is still more to do.

Over recent weeks and months we will continue to prioritise our activity around this issue, included a number of tactics as part of Operation Yellowfin.

We continue to undertake Op Yellowfin 'days of action' which is seeing more and more nuisance motorbikes being stopped and seized. We are absolutely committed to continuing in this approach while this remains a priority issue. You can see some of our recent seizures by scrolling through the Twitter and Facebook feeds below. 

We want to be clear- we will not be tolerating the criminal use of motorcycles in this way and we will use all powers at our disposal to recover bikes being used in this way and to hold those responsible to account. 

We are appealing for information from our local communities as to the details of who is responsible for riding these bikes and also where they are being stored or housed and so would encourage people with information to make contact on either 101 or alternatviely, anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Household Burglaries - Crosby and Park.

Following a recent spate of burglaries across the ward, the Crosby and Park team have been working hard to provide support and guidance to prevent further offences; to develop intelligence as to those responsible; while also speaking with our communities about places stolen property may be sold or disposed.  

Of concern, we recently completed some patrols of the area with colleagues from Safer Neighbourhoods, and we found that a large number of doors were unlocked and insecure. 

Please help us  by making such you keep your property safe and give criminals a hard time. 

While a number of enquiries are being developed, we would encourage everyone to take a look on our website to find a range of security advice and guidance for your home.

If anybody has information about those responsible for these type of offences, then please contact us through the 101 number or alternatively, by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers (0800 555 111).
