£49k to be paid back to victim of fraud in Goole


The house of convicted fraudster Joanne Coupland has been sold recently and the victim will now be refunded £49 thousand pounds that was stolen from them.

Joanne Coupland was jailed in May 2018 having been found guilty of stealing in excess of £42 thousand pounds from her employer, a shooting club near Goole.

The victim will now be reimbursed the money as her house in Braithwaite near Doncaster was recently sold.

On sentencing Joanne Coupland at Hull Crown Court in May 2018, Recorder Darren Preston said: "You systematically, routinely and persistently stole from your employer. That is not only someone who considered themselves to be a friend, but someone who gave you a job when you were at a low point in your life. You abused that trust in a very grave way.”

Detective Constable Andy White who investigated the initial incident said, “This was a long and protracted investigation which began in 2014.  We arrested Joanne Coupland in 2015 as our investigations continued and in 2017 she pleaded guilty to the offences.

“At Hull Crown Court on Monday 7 January Joanne Coupland appeared by video link from prison and was ordered to pay a total of £59 thousand pounds to her victims, £49 thousand pounds of that going to her former employer.

“I was very pleased to be able to call the victim with the good news and tell them that they would be getting their money back.”

Merry Christmas from everyone at Goole & Pocklington!

2018 has been a positive year for Humberside Police and local Response, Investigation and Neighbourhood Policing Teams at Goole & Pocklington.

The force has recruited over 300 new officers with many joining the Response & Patrol Teams at Goole. We have launched the My Community Alert system which we are using to communicate with you and local people in Goole, Howden, Howdenshire, Snaith, Swinefleet, Airmyn, Rawcliffe, Market Weighton and Pocklington. Our Neighbourhood Policing and Investigation Teams have grown as more officers have been recruited internally as Beat Managers and Detectives. Seven Police Cadets have also joined us at Goole and will be helping us to engage with the local community in 2019. And, since May we have spent over 60 hours in local schools as part of the Safer Schools Partnership. There is always room to improve, however, we hope that all of this will help to make our communities safer and stronger in 2019.

Finally, all that remains is to wish you, your family and your friends a Merry Christmas from all of the Police Officers, PCSOs, Police Staff, Civilian Staff, Volunteers and Cadets at Goole and Pocklington Police Station.

Although we hope that you won't need us, we will have teams on duty throughout the festive period to make sure that you have a safe Christmas. From the call handlers answering 999 and 101 calls, to the officers on the street, to our investigation teams carrying out enquiries – we will be here.

So, wherever you are, whatever you are doing and whoever you are with we hope that you have a happy, healthy and safe Christmas.

UPDATE: RTC on A161 between Goole & Swinefleet


A 62-year-old woman is being treated for potentially life threatening injuries following a collision on the A161 Swinefleet Road, Goole, last night (Friday, December 21). We were called at 5.45pm following reports of the collision between an empty petrol tanker and a red Suzuki Ignis. The woman was airlifted to Hull Royal Infirmary by Air Ambulance, where she remains in a stable condition. The driver of the tanker was shaken but uninjured.

Today, we’re continuing our investigation into the circumstances of the collision and appealing for any witnesses who haven’t yet spoken to us to come forward. Our specialist officers are also supporting the woman's family - who have asked that she is not named publically - and our thoughts are with them.

If you saw either vehicle or have any information you believe could assist us, please call the non-emergency 101 line, quoting log number 407 of December 21.

21,000 Counterfeit & Duty-Evaded Cigarettes Seized


On Tuesday 18th December 2018, over 21,000 cigarettes and almost 5kg of tobacco have been seized from a business on Pasture Road, Goole. The action was a result of a joint operation between HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Goole Neighbourhood Policing Team.

The items are believed to have been brought into the country illegally with no tax paid on them. It is also suspected that a large number of them may be counterfeit.

The action came after we received information from the local community about the sale of counterfeit goods in the area and follows on from previous operations that have been carried out on Pasture Road.

Neighbourhood Policing Inspector Mark Lovell said: “This has been a successful community led operation. Selling and supplying counterfeit tobacco is a serious crime that poses a real threat to public health.

“Counterfeit cigarettes have previously been found to contain pesticides, arsenic and even rat faeces. We will continue to work with HMRC and other partners to take these off the streets.

“I encourage the local community to continue talking to us about crime, as this enables us to take action to make sure that the area remains a pleasant place to live and work.”

If you have any information about crime in your area please call our non-emergency number 101.

If you prefer to remain anonymous you can do so by calling the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. In an emergency always call 999.

Vehicle Seized for No Insurance

Earlier today a Roads Policing Officer stopped a vehicle travelling on Boothferry Road in Howden. After checks were carried out on the vehicle it transpired that it was being driven without insurance. The vehicle was subsequently seized under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, recovered a short time later and taken off the road.

It is an offence to drive a vehicle on a road or other public place without valid third party insurance, vehicle excise licence or MOT. Many of our police vehicles are fitted with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras which are directly linked to the Police National Computer and highlight vehicles that are potentially being used without the relevant documentation.

If your not sure if your vehicle has valid tax, MOT or insurance you can check online here --> www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax  

There is no excuse for driving a vehicle without the relevant documentation.

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!
