Burglary in your area (Humberside Police)

A burglary has been reported in your area.

Dear Resident,

a dwelling burglary has recently been reported in your area. An unknown person has approached the rear entrance of a house of multiple occupancy on Grimsby Road at around 16:30 yesterday and gained entry to a communal corridor via an insecure door. Once inside this person has forced entry to a room and taken two Alcatel mobile phones.

Enquiries are currently ongoing.

If anybody has information relating to this incident please call 101 and quote ref: 16/97201/20.

We urge people to be vigilant and not to leave doors and windows open/unlocked when they are at home. Similarly, do not leave high value items on display where they can be easily seen through windows. Things like small electrical items, jewellery and car keys are a favourite for most burglars.

Thank you

Possible Rogue Trader in your area (Humberside Police)

Suspicious circumstances reported in your area

Dear Resident,

There has recently been a report of a potential Rogue Trader in your area. A male described as a white male, late 40s , 5ft 9, skinny build, short grey hair, glasses, spoke with an Irish accent, wearing a blue polo shirt (no logos), dark blue combat trousers, driving a small, white old van with ladders on the top cold called at an address on Elliston Street and pointed out to the occupant that her flashing on her roof need fixing.

On this occasion no agreement was made and the male left the area.

Please remember that criminals will employ a range of tactics to target vulnerable people. This includes looking for homes with tired exteriors, where elderly relatives are more likely to live.

Some of these types of people work together by discreetly marking the pavement outside the houses of those recently scammed, or circulating a ‘suckers’ lists on the black market. Please be aware of things like this.

It’s not just someone knocking on the door that you should be cautious of - we would suggest taking leaflets put through your letterbox with a pinch of salt, too. This is another way in which cowboy traders try to reel you in, making misleading or false claims and using scare tactics, particularly around home security.

If you do need a tradesman for any reason it's best that one is recommended by word of mouth. If this is not possible, the charity Age UK have a handy person service that can assist with certain jobs -
they can be contacted on 0800 678 1602.

Thank you

What is modern day slavery? Please read and if you spot the signs described and are unsure or require advice, please contact us on 101. Modern day slavery is an unseen crime that’s going unnoticed in our local communities. Whether that’s at a local hand car wash, a nail bar in town or even a village takeaway – slavery and trafficking is a growing cause for concern across the entire Humber region. Slavery is an umbrella term for activities involved when one person obtains or holds another person against their will in compelled service. Someone is classed as a victim of slavery if they are: Forced to work through mental or physical threat; Owned or controlled by an 'employer', usually through mental or physical abuse or the threat of abuse; Dehumanised, treated as a commodity or bought and sold as ‘property’; Physically constrained or have restrictions placed on his/her freedom. Spot the signs of modern day slavery There is no “standard” victim profile for modern day slavery. Victims can be men, women and children of all ages, but it is normally more prevalent amongst the most vulnerable – including minority groups or those who are socially excluded. Potential victims might display any (or many) of the following signs: Suffering from physical or psychological abuse, appearing withdrawn and looking dishevelled Never seen travelling alone Avoiding eye contact and seeming reluctant to have a conversation Appearing fearful of authorities – in particular, law enforcement Seeming unfamiliar with the neighbourhood in which they are living and working Living in overcrowded accommodation Having very few personal possessions Having no access to personal ID documents Being dropped off and collected at work every day - either very early, or very late Seemingly being under the influence of other people
We have seen an increase in shop theft in July and August (14 in total) all at local shops. In July, there were 25 offences of theft overall, which has reduced to 12 in August. Shops are being targetted by people we believe to be local and with the support of the community, we might stand a chance at identifying some of them and bringin them to justice. Although we have had a reduction overall, one shop in particular is sadly being targeted on Grimsby Road. If you happen to see suspcious or furtive behaviour, report this to us or the staff in the shops that you are in at the time. We have patrols to cover the shift on earlies and late’s – and will visit twice per shift where demands allow to speak with staff and show presence when possible. We are working with the shops in order to try and prevent these thefts, but they are often low value and the suspects are in and out quickly which sometimes can prove difficult to identify them. We look at the security and CCTV at the stores and try to get them to consider changing layouts and product placement where possible. Please ring 101/999 if you see something suspicious or you believe a crime is about to be committed or being in the progres sof being committed.
Drug dealing and drug misuse Drugs are a major issue that every area of policing has to deal with. Across the Sidney Sussex ward there has been a notable increase in drug activity over the last few years and we have been acting on this with regular Misuse of Drugs Act warrants. If you believe you know an address or person that may be involved with drugs, then please get in touch and let us know. Where we have ASB, criminal activity and issues around an address, please let the police know. We work very closely with the council and can look at ways of tackling the ASB/drugs problems with house closures form problem houses. We are actively disrupting the drug dealers that are targeting our vulnerable people within the ward area. We are very keen for you to ring in on 101 to report drug activity in your area. Please note that with each report, we can work to build that bigger picture in order obtain a warrant from the local courts and we can then go to these houses and stop the activities. Please call us with any information that you may have with regards to drugs activities - the more you report to us, the more we can do as there are many options at our disposal and we also continue to address this through Op Galaxy. We have had great success this month - please click on the following link - https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/grimsby-news/haul-10000-class-drugs-found-4423042
Child Criminal Exploitation There has been a notable increase over the last few months of youths who are being coerced or threatened into crime and as such our team wishes to abolish Child Criminal Exploitation on the Sidney Sussex area. This would not be possible without every agency assisting, and as such we aim to be active on our ward and target addresses and people which have information being fed through. We will be available to ask advice about this matter and strive to do everything we can to prevent these types of offences taking place. If you see children involved in drug dealing activities, chances are is that they are being exploited. Please ring it in to the police so we can try and protect this vulnerable group of our society. You may see drug dealing, we do too, but its the risk of serious harm to some of those doing this and by reporting we can put things in place to protect them.
Child Sexual Exploitation This issue has been raised due to the heightened number of reported issues regarding Child Sexual Exploitation and is a priority that every officer aims to prevent. Prevention would not be possible without every agency assisting, and as such we aim to be active on our ward and target addresses and people which are involved, or have been involved. Our local officers will respond to every call regarding this matter effectively and will strive to get the best resolution for all parties affected. Information about this matter should be fed through either the 101 system or the GET IN TOUCH email link above as a matter of priority.
