Do not let this harvest be a good one for thieves (Humberside Police)

As the harvest gets in full swing in our rural areas we are reminding people to keep their properties and equipment safe and secure.

Rural Task Force officer Josh Fawcett said, “At this time of year our farmers and rural communities are so busy bringing in the harvest and tending their crops that they can often forget to make sure their properties and equipment are properly secure.

“Their machinery is a massive investment and so we want to remind people to keep it safe and out of the way of opportunist or targeting thieves.

“One of the key items targetted by thieves across the country are Tractor GPS and Navigation equipment.

Watch our crime prevention video here: youtu.be/-stWJnZzlLg

“Here are some tips to prevent these being stolen.

MARK IT, REMOVE IT, LOCK IT

Tractor GPS Screens
Remove screens when not in use – ensure they are left in a safe and secure location.
Mark screens using Forensic Marking and use the provided stickers to advertise forensic marking is in use
Record serial numbers

Tractor GPS Receivers
If not in use, disconnect, remove and secure in a safe location
Remove from roof if not in use and tractor is being used on road – this will prevent advertising the fact you have a receiver.
Ensure the software is up to date, and marked with security warning stickers
Consider securing the tractor in a locked alarmed shed
Record serial numbers

“Please also make sure your device is properly insured as it may need to be a separate item on your insurance, especially once removed from machinery.

“We would also advise people to consider installing CCTV, intruder alarms, security lighting and boundary security (entrance gates/fencing) around your property to provide formal surveillance and target harden the most vulnerable areas.

“We cannot physically be everywhere at the same time and our communities are our eyes and ears in the countryside. They know when something they see isn’t right. We want them to call us about any suspicious activity they see. Please report this to police immediately on 999 if there is a crime in progress or 101 for non-emergency incidents.

“For more information about how to protect your farm, properties and equipment please head over to our website where you will find lots of useful information www.humberside.police.uk/wildlife-and-rural-crime."

We also have a rural crime prevention booklet which can be obtained through the website as a PDF or as a booklet via our Rural Task Force SPOCRuralandWildlifeCrime@humberside.pnn.police.uk

Residential Burglary (Humberside Police)

Hi,
Unfortunately there has been a burglary in Howden during the early hours of Thursday 15th July, where someone has entered a property through the rear patio doors by removing the lock barrel. They have then found inside the property, the keys to 2 BMW vehicles. They have then taken 1 vehicle from the drive and 1 from the garage which has been opened by the remote control.
Please look at your security and possible extra locks on doors and safe places for all keys.

Thanks
Simon

Priorities. The Neighbourhood Policing Team meet regularly with partners to ensure we have a multi agency approach to local issues, individuals and problem solving. These meetings are regularly attended by partners including Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, Youth and Family Support Officers and the East Riding Anti-Social Behavour Team. We share information and resources to deal with local neighbourhood issues, in particular those identifed as causing the most harm in the community and continue to patrol Howden and the surrounding rural areas during our shifts.
Operation Galileo Officers from across the East Riding of Yorkshire area continue to engage in the prevention and detection of wildlife offences and poaching across the ward area. Officers will be using intelligence, new equipment and volunteers in helping to identify offenders and obtaining evidence to form prosecution cases. If you see people with dogs in fields, and if safe to do so, please ring 101 and report the incident.
Rural Crimes The following list shows some of the crimes that have occurred recently in your area. A new build house in Howden was broken into and various items stolen including doors and tools. Entry was gained into a secure property, where car keys and then 2 vehicles (BMW’s) were stolen, (one vehicle has since been recovered). A secure vehicle parked at Howden Railway station has been broken into and stolen. Wire fencing at the side of a property in Howden has been damaged.
Catalytic converter thefts - how to protect your vehicle We are warning motorists to be on their guard following a number of reports of catalytic converters being stolen in our areas. While all cars are potentially at risk, thieves are most likely to target hybrids, where the catalytic converter is used less and the metals are less likely to be damaged, or vehicles with a higher ground clearance, such as vans and SUVs. Older vehicles are also targeted due to the fact they contain higher amounts of precious metal than the newer models .We want to remind residents to be extra vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to us. We advise you to do the following. 1. Park your vehicle as close as you can to a wall or fence. This reduces the amount of room that the offender needs to manoeuvre under your vehicle and cut away the converter. 2. If your catalytic converter is bolted on you can ask your local garage to weld the bolts on to make removal more difficult. 3 .Some garages will etch a unique serial number onto your converter so it can easily be identified if it is stolen. You will also be provided with a sticker to be displayed in your window that indicates your converter is marked. You can also purchase cat clamps which will also take time to remove and slow the offender down who will be in a hurry. 4. If you have a Toyota you can purchase a device that will lock in around the converter to make it more difficult to remove. 5. Park in a well lit area. 6. Fit your vehicle with a car alarm to distract an offender.
