Local News Update

We’re issuing some advice after a number of recent car thefts where car keys were stolen during house burglaries.

Superintendent Jenny Bristow said, “What happened in a number of recent crimes is that intruders have broken into houses, during the night while people are asleep, to steal car keys and anything else they can lay their hands on. The keys have then then used to steal cars.
 
“We are investigating all these offences but think it’s also helpful to remind residents of some crime prevention advice.”
 

- Always lock and secure your home, especially at night and to store car keys in a safe place.
- If you are able to - keep your car locked in a garage
- Lock garden and drive gates if you have them
- Consider buying a good CCTV system
- Never hang keys on the inside of a door and don’t leave keys on show or in an obvious place. Hide house and car keys within the house somewhere safe.

“If anyone sees anything suspicious, anybody looking as though they are checking a property or vehicle out, or anything out of the ordinary please contact us.”
 
We are investigating two recent incidents which we are appealing for witnesses and information.
 
The first was (Log 244 09/12/19) on Salcey Close, Kingswood, between 2pm on Saturday 7 and 3.30pm on Monday 9 December where a white Kia Sportage was stolen.
 
The second was (Log 70 10/12/19) on Mill Beck Lane, Cottingham, between 11pm and 7am overnight Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 December where two cars, a black  Lexus and a white Peugeot were stolen.
 
If you have any information about these two crimes or know where these cars are, call us on the non-emergency number 101 quoting the above log numbers.  Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. The information you provide to this independent charity could qualify you for a reward.

Local News Update

Thieves have removed the lead from the roofs of 13 building including churches and disused buildings across the East Riding and Hull causing damage and theft worth thousands of pounds.

Community Inspector Phil Hinch has said, “In September I spoke about five thefts that had been reported to us when thieves stole the lead from the roofs of five churches in the East Riding.

“We are continuing to investigate all of these incidents as well as the theft lead from the roof of a bank in Driffield.

“Unfortunately since then there have been further thefts both in the East Riding and in Hull as well.

“The financial impact on the churches is huge and they have had a big impact on the local village communities too.

“This additional thefts have been reported at a further three East Riding churches and four properties in Hull, taking the total to 13 across the region.

“I would appeal for anyone who has any information about these thefts to contact us so that we can identify those responsible and bring them to justice.

“I also would like to ask for the communities in towns and villages across the East Riding to be extra vigilant and to keep an eye out for anyone acting suspiciously.  If you do see something call us immediately on 999 so that we can respond and catch them in the act. 

“If anyone sees people working on a church roof contact us so that we can check that they are legitimate workers.

“If anyone, such as scrap merchants, is offered a large quantity of lead please get in touch with us so we can add this to our lines of enquiries.”

Anyone with information should call us on our non-emergency number 101 quoting reference 

More information about Heritage and Rural Crime:

The theft of lead falls under ‘Heritage Crime’ if you want to find out more about rural crime and heritage crime please look on our website: www.humberside.police.uk/wildlife-and-rural-crime
Dr Louise Grove, Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Social Policy, Loughborough University is quoted by Historic England on their website about the effect that this type of crime has on the building and the community it serves.
“Listed places of worship are often the target for lead theft - they have relatively large amounts of valuable metal, in often isolated locations. But listed places of worship are not simply heritage assets. They are often a place for congregation - not just for worship but for playgroups, coffee mornings, commiserations and celebrations. In remote areas - particularly with rapidly closing post offices, pubs, and community centres - places of worship remain a focal point for the community. They play an important role in reducing loneliness and isolation across the generations, as well as being an important source of information for genealogists and historians.
“When metal is taken from the roof of a place of worship, it is not just the fabric of the building that is damaged, but the fabric of the wider community. When metal is removed from the roof, it reduces the usability of the place of worship - and sometimes prevents it being safely used for months at a time. The impact of this tertiary victimisation must not be underestimated, and we should consider these wider issues when looking at prioritising our (inevitably) limited crime prevention resources.
“It's widely acknowledged that heritage has many benefits - it's linked with improved health outcomes, a sense of community, and nurturing a knowledge and understanding of our past. At a time when so much in our communities is under threat, it is vital that we give ourselves the opportunity to address at least this one item on the agenda: protecting our shared spaces from heritage metal theft.”

An arson has been reported in your
neighbourhood.

Dear Sir or madam,
 
There has been an increase in fires in the area. This tends to be youths that have stolen wheelie bins and then take them to a grassed area to set them alight. 

Please keep your wheelie bins secure either in your back gardens or chained up. If you don't have any chains you can purchase some from the Neighbourhood Network Team that is run out of the Bespoke Centre on Zeal Garth.

If you see or know anything please call 101 or let me know through My Community Alert so we can try and stop this.

Regards

Good News!

As you all know there has been an issue on Castle Grange for some time especially around a certain address and the people who was visiting it. Today I can confirm after continued pressure from the Police and Hull City Council on the landlord of the property the landlord has sold the property and the nuisance tenant has moved out. 

Hopefully this will mean there will be a reduction in crime in the area.

A big thank you goes out to yourselves as well because without you reporting these issues we can not deal with them.
