Good News


Three men, arrested by Lincolnshire Police, have be charged with five thefts of lead from the roofs of East Riding churches.

Paul Buica, age 25, of George Street, Birmingham, Constantin Motescu, 31, of  Stebbings, Sutton Hill, Telford and Luarentiu Sucea, 38, of George Street, Birmingham all appeared at court recently charged with a number of offences in Lincolnshire but also offences committed in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Offences in the Humberside police area that the men are charged with are the theft of lead from churches in Sigglesthorne, Hutton, Harpham, Bransburton and Langtoft.

Inspector Rob Cocker said, “This is an excellent outcome and I am sure it will reassure the rural community that we can and will arrest those responsible for crimes in our towns and villages.

“These thefts have a huge impact on the churches involved, not only financially, the damage often caused can take months to repair, impacting on their services and support to the local community.  It also has a big impact on the local residents too who value their local heritage.

“I would ask people to still remain vigilant and keep an eye on their local historic buildings as, although these three men have been charged, there may be others who would want to commit crime in our communities.  Always report suspicious activity to us and we will act on your information.”

Due to the number of reports of ‘Criminal Damage to Vehicles’ please see the below crime prevention advice…
 
 
The five golden rules to keep your vehicle safe
 
 
1. Park in well-used and brighter locations
 
Vehicles parked in dark and less busy areas are more liable to be damaged or broken into because the suspect cannot easily be seen by anyone; it’s always advisable to park somewhere that’s well-lit and where people are walking and there is likely to be passing traffic. The busier the better, as a rule.
 
What’s more, if your car stands out as being, say, more expensive than others in the area, it could be a target. That’s when it’s worth considering parking somewhere where your car is likely to be safer. It might not always mean the shortest or most convenient route back to it, but it could help prevent damage to your vehicle. Better to be safe than sorry.
 
2. Hide your stuff away
 
Leaving items like iPads, mobiles and laptops in plain view is asking for trouble. If you can’t take it with you, then hide it. The same goes for bags and clothing.
 
As for sat navs, it’s good to hide the device and the rubber suction cup that sticks to the windscreen, but don’t forget to check if there’s a mark on the glass that gives away the fact that you have one on board.
 
3. Protect your windows
 
Consider using security film. It comes in either clear or opaque options and really does strengthen the glass and leave minimum damage if someone tries to smash their way into your vehicle.
 
4. Pick your car park carefully
 
The Safer Parking Scheme is a national standard that benchmarks the safety and security of car parks. A ‘Park Mark’ means the site has been assessed and vetted by the police.
 
Check out the Park Mark website for more information and to find ‘marked’ car parks.
 
5. Make space
 
If possible, when you park, try to leave some space between your car and other cars. It not only prevents accidental damage, it also means thieves or vandals are more likely to be seen.
 
Your checklist
 
When you park your vehicle, just follow these simple tips:
 
•Close your sunroof
•Check you haven’t left your keys in the ignition
•Don’t keep your log book in the car
•Double-check your central locking has actually locked – listen for the clunk/click noise (if you’ve got keyless then look through the window to check)
•Don't leave your car with the engine running
•Don't leave anything of value in the car
 
 
Report it
 
Most people fail to report criminal damage or vandalism to their vehicle but, if it ever happens to you, we urge you to report it immediately

Local News Update


Following concerns from local residents - Patrols from Preston Road will be Patrolling East Park today. The vast majority of people using the park will be law abiding, however those that aren't will be dealt with by appropriate means.

Chief Inspector Lee Edwards said:

“With the warmer weather, we appreciate the importance of parks and other public spaces and we want to make sure that these are areas that people can come and enjoy safely.

“With another sunny day ahead of us today and also into the weekend, we have extra high visibility patrols across a number of parks and green spaces in Hull and East Yorkshire to deal with any issues quickly should they emerge.

“Patrols have been carried out over the last four weeks by our Operation Galaxy Teams in hot spot areas for offences, and this will continue with our Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) as well as patrol officers, who will be deployed to a number of different areas, speaking to and challenging anyone found behaving inappropriately or committing offences.

“We have received a report of teenagers gathering and behaving in an antisocial manner, and a report of a man being assaulted by teenagers following a verbal altercation on East Park in Hull, and our additional patrols will ensure anyone acting antisocially, or criminally, will be swiftly and efficiently dealt with.

“The impact that incidents of this nature have is detrimental to our local communities, and I want to be really clear that this type of behaviour is wholly unacceptable and will not be tolerated.  

“Our NPTs teams are working very closely with the local authority and the park staff across the county to put long term sustainable measures in place to reduce incidents and prevent instances, but we also need our communities help.

“If you are a parent of a teenager, I would appeal to you to please ask them what they are doing, where they are going and who with.  Everyone has a personal responsibility to treat their environment and community with respect.

“It is also important to remember that there are still government guidelines in place to ensure the safety of the nation and reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19. I encourage everyone to consider these guidelines and follow them to help keep our communities safe and well.

“I would ask if you have any information about offences being committed in your area, please call our non-emergency 101 number or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. In an emergency always dial 999.”

#OpYellowfin – Tackling motorcycle related crime and antisocial behaviour
#OpYellowfin continues to be on the lookout for motorbikes which may be stolen, ridden dangerously or illegally and are joining forces with officers from #OpGalaxy on the first of several intensification days, tomorrow, Wednesday 24 June.
 
Officers working under #OpYellowfin are dedicated to their task and continue to stop offenders, arrest suspects and recover stolen property, making our communities safer for everyone.
Inspector Mark Peasgood, Op Yellowfin lead for Hull and the East Riding said, “There has been no let-up in action against criminals stealing motorbikes and using them to commit crime and we have already seen positive result throughout Humbersides social media accounts. These intensification days will provide additional officers and staff that are dedicated to the issues of motorcycle related crime faced by our communities.
“We do have hot-spot areas across Hull and the East Riding that we pay particular attention to, but we know that other people experience problems and always want to hear about these issues so we can deal with them before they become bigger problems.
 
“I cannot stress enough how important it is for us to hear from our residents about the issues they are experiencing.
 
“I would also appeal for our communities to work with us by providing us any information about stolen bikes, scooters, mopeds etc being stored in lockups and garages, this information helps us recover stolen property and arrest those involved.”
 
Do you have information about stolen motorcycles being stored or about people near you committing motorcycle related crime and antisocial behaviour?
 
If you have information, either call us on 101 or use the online reporting form on this link: www.humberside.police.uk/report-it and quote ‘Yellowfin’ to our call takers and officers.
 
Inspector Peasgood continues, “As part of our continued work on #OpYellowfin, officers will proactively stop motorcyclists. This will not just be because we suspect them to be riding a stolen bike or riding in an antisocial way but also, with the support of the motorcycling community, stopping them to talk about their safety and the security of their own bikes.
 
“We plan to give those riders information about Op Yellowfin to increase the knowledge of bike safety and crime prevention.
 
“I appeal for you to support our work and let us know of any information you have, not only now, but as we continue to bring to justice those who commit motorcycle related crime and anti-social behaviour.”
