Do you ride a motorcycle and want to learn how to be safer?

Humberside Police know how passionate motorcyclists are about their bikes.

But did you know that for full licence holders we also run courses to help you improve your riding skills?

Humberside #BikeSafe aims to provide a fun, relaxed, interesting and informative day to help you explore ways to develop your riding skills.

It’s run by passionate bikers who just happen to be serving or retired bike cops and who are dedicated to improving biking for everyone.

BikeSafe is a nationally run scheme for bikers run by the police. The idea is to help bikers explore their current ability level and discover ways to improve their skills, be safer and get more out of biking. Workshops are run in a fun, relaxed and interesting style.

There is no pressure or expectations and all riders with a full/restricted power bike licence are greeted with a warm welcome.

Whether you are new to biking or have been riding for years, BikeSafe can help you find ways of getting more from your riding.

We work with IAM/ROSPA/Enhanced Rider Scheme and we hope to inspire all riders to take up training to be better bikers.

Come and join us on our #BikeSafe workshop at Melton on the following dates:

Sunday 18th April

Saturday 15th May

Can you help our investigation into criminal damage in Withernsea? (Humberside Police)

Investigation into criminal damage in Withernsea

The local policing team are investigating a number of reported acts of criminal damage where stones or other objects have been thrown at windows in Withernsea over the weekend.

There are six incidents which have been reported between 7pm on Saturday 20 February and 5am on Monday 22 February and all are believed to have happened during the evening or into the early hours.

Two of these were reported on North Promenade, two on Seathorne, one on North Road and one on Princes Avenue.

PC James Stothard, Community Beat Manager, said: “I want to provide reassurance to the community that we are taking these criminal damage reports incredibly seriously.

“These mindless acts of vandalism can be really frightening for people, and understandably leave people shaken.

“We have been following up a number of enquiries such as door to door and checking for private CCTV cameras in the areas.

“Our patrols have been increased around these areas too, so I would encourage anyone with concerns to speak to our officers as they’re out and about.

“I would appeal for anyone who has private CCTV around these areas, who has not yet spoken to us, or anyone with any information they think may assist our enquiries, to contact us on our non-emergency number 101 and ask that your information is directed to me as your Community Beat Manager."

OPERATION GALILEO UPDATE (Humberside Police)

Protecting our local wildlife – Three hare coursers arrested and seven others summons to appear in court

In recent weeks we have seen the ongoing issue of people travelling to our area to commit the wildlife crime of hare coursing.

Hare coursing is barbaric and illegal and as a sport is banned. With no regard for the law, criminal gangs are still travelling to our area, despite the national lockdown, and trespassing on private farmland to hunt hares with dogs.

Wildlife & Rural Crime Sergeant Jenna Jones, leading the new Rural Task Force, said, “We are continuing to receive reports each weekend of groups of people and dogs on private land across the East Riding.

“These reports are invaluable to us as we are deployed to locate and challenge those responsible.”

VW Caddy Seized on Wednesday 17 February, three men were arrested on suspicion of hunting with dogs when they were reported by a resident near Grimbthorpe (near Bubwith north of Howden).

This initial report came from a local resident however was quickly disseminated around the Farmwatch community in the area our Rural Task Force was sent to action with one of our four Rural Task Force officers, PC Kevin Jones first to respond co-ordinating the incident with further support from the Farmwatch community, neighbourhood/patrol and traffic officers.

The regional Air Support NPAS21 helicopter came to assist with the search for the offenders and assisted in detaining two suspects and the NPAS84 fixed wing plane also assisted to detain the final, third, suspect.

NPAS assisted with the arrest of men with Farmwatch community members passing regular updates and assisting officers on the ground with movement across land this was truly a joint effort that resulted in not only the arrest of the three men but the seizure of a VW Caddy van and three dogs were also seized under the Hunting Act.

The men have been questioned and released under investigation as our enquiries continue.

Sergeant Jones continued, “We thank the local community and members of Farmwatch who assisted us during this incident.

“Being a key part of Farmwatch allows us to have eyes and ears in some of our remote locations and we will continue to grow on this partnership work within our farming community to assist with the disruption of rural, wildlife and heritage crime.

“Throughout the winter months we have had some good results with seven men due to appear in court on charges of hare coursing on land Wetwang on 4 October, Rotsea (near Cranswick) on 1 November and Nafferton on 15 November.

“These results send a clear message to those who are thinking about coming into the East Riding of Yorkshire to commit wildlife crime. We will take positive action on every occasion, and will look at utilising all the available legislation to prevent, deter and prosecute those who decide to engage in criminality around our countryside and to protect our rural community.

“Wherever we have the evidence we will prosecute offenders and we welcome the help of our rural communities in letting us know of incidents in their area. If people see anything suspicious they should always call 101 to report their concern to us.”

RURAL WATCH: Protect your trailer (Humberside Police)

Secure & mark your Trailer

This is a reminder to owners of trailers across the county to make sure that your trailers are secured and marked as soon as possible following a trailer theft in East Yorkshire. We have included below the best ways to secure your trailers.

• Record trailer serial numbers and photographs for reference – a picture of the stolen trailer or box will increase publicity prospects and recovery.

• Trailers should be security marked and secured using a wheel clamp, hitch lock and consider using a security posts to secure. Consider an appropriate ground anchor with strong high CEN rated padlock and chain.

• Putting your postcode on the roof of your livestock or horse box is a good way of making sure that it is easily identifiable. Kits can be brought off of the Internet cheaply.

• Have your trailer marked with a security marking scheme such as Datatag and other options are available please do your research to find the system that’s right for you. Insurance discounts are available for fitting certain devices to machines. Check with your insurer for more details. Machines fitted and registered with certain security markings are 4 times less likely to be stolen and our 6 times more likely to be recovered if they are stolen.

• If your trailer or box is fitted with Datatag make sure that it is registered to you especially if you have brought this second-hand. To update details please visit www.datatag.co.uk/owner.php

• Make sure that if you have a trailer or box which is fitted with a different security registration sticker that your details are current and up to date with them.

• Consider removing wheels on trailer if they’re not going to be used for a while locking the wheels away in a different place and consider using security posts to secure your trailer into an area.

• Trailers can also by secured by reversing up to a solid object such as a wall and then placing a bucket or other heavy implement over the hitch to prevent removal.

• Fit an alarm, a simple battery operated alarm will help deter the thief.

• Report suspicious vehicle or callers to Police by calling 999 if the vehicle or occupants are seen committing crime or phone 101 if the vehicle is seen acting suspiciously.
