Dear All but mainly business folk,

Traditionally in the run up to Christmas businesses handle larger than usual cash amounts. The criminal element is prone to see this as an opportunity to fund their own Christmas spending and I'd advise anyone moving large cash sums to follow some advice;

1. If carrying cash vary your routes and times.
2. Don't carry obvious looking cash bags.
3. Allow more than one person to take cash to the bank or car.
4. Where possible take the car to the cash rather than the cash to the car.
5. Be vigilant and report suspicious behaviour.

Kind Regards,

PC 1772 Gary Portlock,
Communities Beat Manager,

A burglary has been reported in your neighbourhood

Dear Resident,

At 04:12 hours on Tuesday 04 December 2018, police received a report that a white Mercedes was left abandoned in the middle of GRIMSBY ROAD in CLEETHORPES, near to the JET GARAGE PETROL STATION. The vehicle had a smashed rear window. A male described as white wearing a grey baseball cap, blueish/grey rain coat and tracksuit bottoms was seen to get out of the vehicle with a white back pack.
 
Police attended the scene and conducted checks on the vehicle and traced the vehicle back to the registered keeper’s address in HUMBERSTON.
 
Police attended the keeper’s address and came across a burglary that had occurred on HUMBERSTON AVENUE in HUMBERSTON. The property is a large detached property that is fronted by what appears to electrical gates that have been forced open. It is believed that suspect(s) have approached the rear of the unoccupied property and forced entry by kicking the bottom panel through. It is not known yet exactly what property has been taken.

How can you help?
1. Do you live on Grimsby Road in Cleethorpes?
2. Did you see the driver of the white Mercedes?
3. Did you see where the driver went?
4. Do you live on Humberston Avenue in Humberston?
5. Did you see or hear anything suspicious during the evening/early morning?
6. Was there someone in the area that seemed out of place?
7. Have you got any CCTV, that may place someone in the either area?

If the answer is 'YES' to any of the above questions, could you please reply to this Community Alert or contact 101 and quote Log 50 of 04/12/18?

There have been a series of Burglaries within your Ward area and are asking for assistance from the community in building a picture of which people are frequenting your area.
 
The burglaries revolve around houses when the occupants are away and gaining entry via the rear of the property and targeting Jewellery items.
 
What is strange in this series is the lack of suspicious activity reports made by the local residents to the Police.  Normally when we see a spike in offences we receive higher than normal amount of calls regards suspicious activity within the area.
 
The Police are asking residents to be vigilant when your neighbours are away and be aware of who is in your area and who you are seeing and speaking too.  It can’t be lucky that the houses targeted are always empty.
 
I want residents to think about who is in your areas, walking, driving, talking to residents and are they in the area regularly. 
 
It could be anybody so be alert.  Please report the following way:
 
Emergency 999, non-emergency 101 or contact DC 2362 MORGAN direct via nigel.morgan@humberside.pnn.police.uk
 
If you are going away please do not advertise on social media, however please ask your neighbour to be vigilant and check the rear of property. If you hear a noise coming from outside your address or a neighbour please report it if anything appears out of place.

Kind Regards

David Cave

Over 10K of criminal gains seized by police under POCA


Over £10,000 will be going back into local communities under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA), after our Asset Recovery Team secured three cash forfeiture orders and a confiscation order at court last week. 

POCA allows police forces to apply to the courts for a forfeiture order or confiscation order when there is suspicion that money has been acquired as a result of crime and is intended to be used for future criminality. 

Mark Butler, 33, of Somerton Road, Immingham, was ordered to forfeit £1,558.50 after he failed to provide evidence of how he had acquired money that was found by officers investigating an assault. He was sentenced to two and a half years in prison after he was convicted of grievous bodily harm, battery, possession of a knife and criminal damage in Immingham in March. 

Shaun Dommett, 24, and Michael Wood, 41, both of Wellington Street, Grimsby, were ordered to forfeit £1,995.03 under POCA after they admitted to buying stolen goods to sell on online selling sites and at car boot sales and money laundering. Both were sentenced last month to a twenty week sentence suspended for two years. 

£2,931.51 was recovered from Brian Smith’s property on 16th Avenue, Grimsby after a warrant was executed at the address earlier this year. Brian’s wife was ordered to forfeit the majority of this money after she failed to provide evidence of the money being legally acquired. Drugs were also recovered and, in July, Smith was sentenced to 4 years in prison for possession with intent to supply cocaine. 

A confiscation order was secured against David Gelder, 29, of Seagrave Grove, Hull ordering him to pay over £4,140 after we found a large amount of amphetamine at his property. He was sentenced to a total of 31 months in prison earlier this month after he was convicted of possession with intent to supply amphetamine, possessing an offensive weapon in a public place, criminal damage, possession of cannabis and theft.

Senior Financial Investigator Lorraine Baines said: “Humberside Police are seizing more cash from criminals across the whole Force area, so much so that we are in the process of recruiting more Financial Investigators and Cash Seizure Investigators who have been initially funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner. 

“We will continue to hit the criminals where it hurts them – in their pocket. By taking the cash away it prevents them from reinvesting in further criminal enterprises and helps keep our local communities safer and stronger with the money confiscated filtered back into the local area.

“If you suspect someone of being involved in illegal activity, please contact us on 101, or you can anonymously call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 to pass information on.”

Local News


The first phase of Humber Talking has been well under way in the Beverley Road area of Hull for just over four weeks. So far over 560 people have completed our survey and we’ve already seen some great results, tackling issues and concerns raised by local residents and knocking on over 1800 doors.

Over the next few days and weeks our neighbourhood policing teams will be knocking on the doors of residents in Goole, East Marsh in Grimsby and Frodingham in Scunthorpe as we roll-out our ground-breaking initiative Humber Talking.

Superintendent Dave Hall said “It is very encouraging that people from Hull have taken the time to begin helping us shape the service which Humberside Police provides to them. With the role out of Humber Talking to Goole, East Marsh and Frodingham areas, we want to get closer to the people we serve and really understand what it’s like to live and work in their communities.”

“We want to better understand what’s great and what’s not so great about where people live so we can work with residents to help tackle any worries and issues that they may have.”

“The information we gather will be used to set priorities for our neighbourhood teams, and where issues are raised that are not police issues, we will work with our relevant partners to make sure they are aware of them.”

“What’s great about Humber Talking is that at the touch of a button our officers can use the data on a daily basis to pinpoint exactly what and where the issues are - whether that be a street, a school, a shop, or a park – and help us address those issues along with the council and our other partner agencies.”

“From fly tipping to street drinking, tell us about what matters to you and help influence policing in your area. If you’re not in when we call, we’ll come back, because everyone’s opinion is important to us.”

Once the survey has been completed, which is digital and will only takes a few minutes, we are able to respond and interact with you directly about your own individual concerns in your own specific geographical area if you sign up to our messaging system, My Community Alert.

This is the kind of information we want so we can tell you what we’re doing and what results we are getting. Over the next few weeks we’ll be following our teams as they are out and about speaking with local residents. Watch this space!

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of being involved in vandalising Grimsby’s Fishing Heritage Centre and the neighbouring supermarket.
Following the attack on the buildings at around 9pm on Sunday evening, Inspector Mel Christie issued a warning that the attack would not go unpunished.
Since then, our teams have been following up a number of lines of enquiry.
And as a result of those enquiries, today a 15-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of four counts of criminal damage and one of attempted burglary.
