SCAMS Covid-19 Vaccine Text Scam Alert We have been alerted to a highly believable scam which starts with a text and advises the user that they are eligible to apply for the vaccine and to click on the link in the text message.

Catalytic converter thefts - how to protect your vehicle We are warning motorists to be on their guard following a number of reports in the last month of catalytic converters being stolen in our areas (Goole, Pocklington and North Cave). 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. We are investigating all the reports we have received and are following up a number of lines of enquiry. In the meantime, we want to help prevent further thefts from occurring, so please pass on our advice to anyone you think may be at risk and, if you see anyone acting suspiciously, please call us on our non-emergency 101 line. Among the steps you can take to protect your vehicle are: Speak to your local garage about having suitable locks or guards fitted. They can also advise you on getting your catalytic converter security marked to make it harder for thieves to dispose of. Park your car in a locked garage where possible. If that isn’t an option, park in a well lit and busy area. Park with your exhaust close to walls, fences or high kerbs, which will make it harder to access. Catalytic converters are at the front of your vehicle, so park facing walls or other vehicles where possible, which will make it harder to remove
CrimeStoppers - Tackling Organised Immigration Crime Together. In response to Operation Melrose, which sought justice for the 39 migrants found dead in the back of a refrigerated lorry in 20198, CrimeStoppers is launching a nationwide organised immigration campaign in partnership with the UK goverement, who , in the last year, have convicted 59 individuals for people smuggling offences and handed down over 142 years in prison time.
