PRESTON: 33 year old Shetland Pony stolen (Humberside Police)

A crime has been reported in your area

The owners of a 33year old Shetland pony in Preston have been left ' absolutely devastated' after the animal was stolen.

Police officers are now appealing for information from the public after the Shetland pony was stolen from a paddock, near Staithes Road, Preston.
The pony, called Peter, was taken sometime between 11:20pm and 1130pm on Saturday 17 July from a field off Staithes Road, Preston, East Riding of Yorkshire.

Peter is described as a Standard Shetland Pony - 40 inches high to the base of his neck, Chestnut colour with blonde mane and tail. A White star on forehead with a Small white snip down centre of nose

Enquiries in relation to the incident are ongoing and officers are urging anyone with any information or video footage that may aid their investigation to get in touch.

PCSO Darren Bainton from the Holderness Community Police Team, said: “Peter’s owners have been left absolutely devastated by this incident and we are keen to do all we can to trace the people responsible and reunite him with their rightful owners.
“Peter is regularly visited by walkers in the local area, meaning that he is well known by the local community.

“The stables and paddock where Peter was taken from are in a semi-rural area, and in order to have accessed the farm it is likely that the offenders will have travelled along Staithes Road or Neat Marsh Lane.

“Therefore, as part of our investigation we are keen to hear from anyone who was in the area on the night of the incident and believes they may have seen anything suspicious.

“The same goes for anyone with any CCTV or dashcam footage which may aid our investigation.

“We urge anyone who has any information, no matter how small, or know the Peter’s whereabouts or is offered the chance to buy Peter, to call us on 101.”
Anyone with information or footage that may be relevant to the investigation is asked to call Humberside Police on 101, quoting 16/72507/21, give the details via our website or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

The National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) have issued an alert to warn members of the public about the risk of holiday fraud and ticketing scams following the announcement of the governments planned road map out of lockdown.

Any significant demands for holidays are likely to be exploited by scammers leading to an increase in holiday fraud.

Here are some top tips around holiday scams from 'Which':

Incredibly cheap online deal - If the price for your flight or holiday is considerably cheaper than the average cost elsewhere, you should be suspicious.

Look out for logos - Looking out for official logos is a good way to check the authenticity of holiday booking, travel agent and tour operators. Seeing the ATOL logo in your travel company's brochure, adverts and website should mean your holiday will be protected.

Watch out for fake listings - Check out if a property exists by using Google Street View to see the property and the area. You can also use Google Images Reverse Search to see if the interior photo's have been used elsewhere on the Internet for other property listings.

Bank Transfer - If a bank transfer is your only option for payment, this should set alarm bells ringing. You should be especially cautious if you're asked to pay directly into a private individuals bank account. Not only does this show no bank is prepared to provide credit card facilities, but if your dealing with a scammer - it will be almost impossible to get your money back.

Check online reviews - Do a thorough search to check the company's credentials. Check multiple reviews for information on other people's experiences and take note of any warnings about the company.
