Four arrested in day of action against County Lines drug dealing


Following five warrants and two property searches by our Op Galaxy and proactive team across Hull, a total of four men have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

A 23-year-old man was arrested at a property on Belmont Street, where approximately £1,500 worth of suspected Class A drugs were recovered, as well as almost £600 in cash.

A 53-year-old man was also arrested on Wath Grove, an 18-year-old man on St Giles Court and 21-year-old man on Newland Avenue.

Detective Inspector Simon Vickers said: “County Lines drugs gangs often originate out of the area, but use the road and public transport networks and local people to supply drugs into our communities.

“Vulnerable people, often teenagers and sometimes children, are exploited into becoming involved in organised criminality, and communities can become plagued with illicit substances and anti-social behaviour that often comes from drug use and dealing.

“The impact this type of offending has on our communities is the reason we take it so seriously, and days like today help to disrupt these criminal networks and remove drugs from our streets.

“We will also work with our partner agencies to support the vulnerable people being used, as well as provide reassurance and wrap around care to our communities affected.

“Our action against drug gangs remains ongoing and we will continue to take these people, and drugs, off the streets.

“I would like to thank members of the public who have provided us with information so far and would appeal for anyone who believes they have any information that may be able to assist with our action against drugs to contact us on 101.

“Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you don’t feel comfortable speaking to police and would prefer to stay anonymous.”

When can I ride an e-scooter legally?


We know there’s still a lot of confusion about e-scooters, including where you can and can’t ride them. We’ve pulled together a helpful list of everything you need to know to combat some of the myths!

While e-scooters are legally available to purchase, it’s currently against the law to ride a privately owned e-scooter in any public place in the UK. This includes roads, pavements, parks, town centres or canal towpaths.
The only place a privately owned e-scooter can be used is on private land.

This is because e-scooters are classified as Personal Light Electric Vehicles (PLEVs) so they are treated as motor vehicles. As such, if they are used on a road, pavement or public place they are subject to the same legal requirements as any motor vehicle.

Here are the penalties for using a ‘motor vehicle’ on a road or other public place:

Without insurance - 6 points, £300 fine, seizure of the vehicle
Without a licence - penalty points, fine, seizure of the vehicle
Failing to comply with Construction & Use legislation - ranging from a non-endorsable fixed penalty to being reported to court for using in a dangerous condition
Impaired by alcohol/drugs - licence disqualification, fine or penalty points

We understand that e-scooters are very tempting for presents, but we would urge people to fully understand the law first.

If officers find anyone using e-scooters in a public place, the scooter may be seized, and the rider reported for any offences.

We would also urge anyone using an e-scooter legally - i.e. on private land - to carefully consider their safety before doing so. All riders should wear a helmet, younger riders particularly, would benefit from additional protective clothing such as knee and elbow pads to minimise injury.
 

Trials of rental electrical scooters (also known as e-scooters) are taking place in the UK.
 

Take a look at the below link for Info on the trials:

Humbertalking has set our priorities, this month we are to:
 
1.            Reduce ASB - Improve the quality of life in the community
 
Community and Policing groups and local parish meetings have raised issues about anti-social behaviour. Anti-social behaviour involving nuisance motor bikes along the river bank near Wawne and across farm land in the Swine and Benningholme area has seen an increase over the month.
 
During Humbertalking in the Wawne area concerns were raised that vehicles visiting the parking area at the end of Greens Lane maybe involved in drug activity, Officers will be checking the location under Op Yellowfin
 
Action
The Holderness Neighbourhood Policing Team works with our key partners and the community to reduce anti-social behaviour and the anti-social use of motor vehicles. We provide proactive responses to reports of anti-social behaviour in our neighbourhood Area and are constantly reviewing our patrol strategy to address this. We are working hard with partners to address this and ensure our market towns and rural communities are a safe place to live and work
 
 
2.            Preventing Residential Burglary
 
Unfortunately the month of March had seen the first reports for several months that three households had been targeted by burglars, UPDATE: during April no further burglaries were reported
 
Please check your security & report suspicious activity to the Police
 
 
Action

3.            Reduce rural crime
 
As with all rural locations, the Holderness area suffer with theft of farming machinery and vehicles along with poaching activity like hare coursing although this season draws to a welcomed end, there has been an increase in anti-social use of illegal motorcycles riding across our countryside and farming fields.
 
      
 
We have taken to our cycles and are Engaging with dog walkers, cyclists, horse riders & people out walking following the recent reports of off roads motorbikes causing a nuisance along the Rail Trail Hedon to Burstwick and the Transpennine Trail across our ward #YouSaidWeDid #InYourCommunity #ThereForYou

Action
OPERATION GALILEO & OPERATION YELLOWFIN - Throughout this year we have worked with volunteers on the Rural Watches across Holderness to deter rural criminality. In addition we will utilise all the available technology, crime prevention techniques and assistance from the Rural Crime Team to deter and detect crime. In addition to local officers our patrols are routinely bolstered by specialist Officers from our Roads Policing, and Operations department.
 
4.            Road Safety
 
As with most other areas, road safety is something in which we can improve upon in our rural communities.
 
Action
We hold regular proactive road safety campaigns with the Highways Authority which include speed enforcement in hot spot locations                                
 
MARCH 2021 – B1239 Preston Road Bilton and B1238 Main Road Wyton have been raised, via Humbertalking, as a community concern for speeding vehicles.
 
UPDATE: during April, Officers have conducted speed checks in Wyton along with enforcement to those found exceeding the limit. A Check Your Speed reminder sign has been positioned on Preston Lane; further checks will be carried out along with Holmes Lane, Bilton and New Ellerby during May 2021.
 
With the return of all children to our primary schools, the Community Team will be conducting patrols around the school area make sure that the roads are safe for every one especial for our young members outside the schools gates.
 
UPDATE: Officers are reminding motorists driving through Burstwick that there is a 20mph limit during school open/closing times, this is highlighted with flashing amber signs as you approach the school; 20 when amber lights flash, please respect it for the safety of ALL our children
 
 
Catalytic Converter theft                   
 
To reduce the risk of having your catalytic converter stolen, you should:
 
Park your car in a locked garage where possible, but if this isn’t an option, then park it in a well-lit and well-populated area
 
Park close to fences, walls or a kerb with the exhaust being closest to the fence, wall or kerb to make the theft more difficult
 
Avoid parking your vehicle half on the pavement and half on the road, as this may make it easier for thieves to access the catalytic converter
 
If there is a fleet of vehicles, park the low clearance vehicles to block the high clearance vehicles. This will obstruct access underneath
 
If parking in a public car park, consider parking alongside other cars and facing you bonnet towards the wall if possible. With the catalytic converter positioned at the front of your vehicle, this will make it harder for thieves to get close enough to steal it
 
For thefts occurring on driveways, consider the use of a Secured by Design (SBD) approved driveway alarm and sensor. This may assist in alerting you of a potential intruder entering your driveway or garden
If your catalytic converter is bolted on, you can ask for your local garage to weld the bolts to make it more difficult to remove.
 
Alternatively, you can mark your catalytic converter. Please ensure any property marking is Secured by Design (SBD) approved
 
If you see someone acting suspiciously under a vehicle, report it to the Police. Obtain as much information as possible, including any vehicle registrations
