Community Safety News


11 Jan 2019
Following an incident yesterday in Hull where a woman had her purse stolen in broad daylight from a city centre restaurant, we are issuing advice to prevent similar thefts from happening. 

The incident occurred in McDonald's on Jameson Street around 7.45am. 

Our officers investigated this, arrested and have now charged a 43-year-old man in connection with the incident.

Darren Teague from Beverley Road in Hull has been charged with theft and is due to appear at Hull Magistrates Court today Friday 11 January. 

We are still searching for another man in connection with this and are appealing to anyone who may have any information to contact us.

Quote reference 16/13173/19.

We want to remind people to look after their possessions and be vigilant when in public places to prevent opportunist thieves from taking advantage.

Never leave valuables unattended, always keep them where you can see them, and if there are places to secure, for instance, a handbag or coat then please use them.

Keep an eye on mobile phones too. They're small, easy to steal, and can be worth a lot of money so are an easy target for thieves.

Reducing Commercial Business Crime.

How to keep burglars out of your business
 
Following a raise of commercial burglaries across Holderness, the neighbourhood police team has compiled a short list of practical advice to help prevent your business becoming victim to burglars:

1. A well-maintained exterior free of rubbish and graffiti will reduce the likelihood of your business being targeted by criminals. So try to remove any graffiti. If any appears on a nearby wall or structure, call the local council who will send their specialist team.

2. Identify areas that may be vulnerable to forced entry and have them made more secure.

3. Make sure any service doors are locked and secure when not in use.

4. Make sure you have a monitored alarm and that it’s fully operational. For advice and approved suppliers of alarms and CCTV, visit the National Security Inspectorate and the Security Systems Alarms Inspection Board.

5. Make sure your CCTV is operational, provides facial recognition as well as good quality images and covers any vulnerable areas. 24-hour digital CCTV is also highly recommended. You'll find useful advice on buying surveillance equipment, from the Surveillance Camera Commissioner here. 

6. Make sure that wheelie bins are stored away as these can be climbed on to gain access to the building, especially via the first floor.

7. Make sure there is sufficient lighting around the premises, especially loading areas.

8. Consider moving high-value goods away from display windows overnight.

9. Prune any overgrown bushes or nearby trees, as they can provide cover for anyone trying to hide from view.

10. Doors and windows are particularly vulnerable – use security-rated products to make them more burglar-resistant. For more details visit Secure by Design.

11. External shutters, although effective, may require planning approval. Use attack-resistant laminated glass in sturdy frames where possible. Alternatively, film can be applied to glass to make it more resilient.

12. Anti-ram raider bollards mounted externally can be used to protect frontages but may require planning approval.

Magistrate finds men guilty of wildlife crimes



Late on Friday afternoon at Beverley Magistrates Court, five men were found guilty of wildlife and animal cruelty offences. They were found guilty of three offences: Of wilfully attempting to take a badger; of interfering with a badger sett by entering a dog into the sett; and of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal (in relation to the dogs used).

These offences are contrary to the Protection of Badgers Act 1992 and the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

Andrew Booth (44) and Kirk McGarry (50) both from Doncaster, John Horner (19) and George Horner (26) both from Bridlington and Richard Willey (46) from Hull appeared at Beverley Magistrates Court today accused of digging into a badger sett at Melton in the East Riding of Yorkshire on 30 December 2017.

Five dogs were also forfeited by the court and will be rehomed.   Equipment relating to the offences was also forfeited.

The five will be sentenced on 23 January 2019.

These offences are in relation to an incident on the afternoon of 30 December 2017 where a concerned member of the public reported to the police that five men with dogs were digging into a badger sett at Melton in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

A number of officers including several wildlife crime officers quickly attended the location and found four men continuing to dig into what appeared to the officers to be an active badger sett.

The men claimed that two of their terrier dogs they had been using to catch rats nearby had ran away and entered the holes. They denied knowing it was a badger sett and stuck to their story throughout the investigation. 

Kirk McGarry, Richard Willey and both George and John Horner were arrested at the scene. Andrew Booth was later identified as having been at the scene, having run off on seeing the officers approaching. 

The men had four terrier dogs with them, two of them, Paddy and Dizzy had entered the badger sett. They emerged the next day with serious injuries inflicted to their muzzles consistent with injuries caused by a badger defending itself. 

The two dogs were also wearing locator collars which are used to locate the dogs underground once they have made contact with a badger so that both the dog and badger can be retrieved from the sett.  Two other younger terriers were also present but appeared not to have entered the sett. All of the dogs were safeguarded and have been housed in police kennels until the trial took place.

Chief Inspector Iain Dixon after the trial said, “Badger persecution in all its forms is a national wildlife crime priority which Humberside Police takes very seriously indeed.

“Badger digging is a cruel and barbaric activity and involves horrendous suffering to both the badger and any dog involved.

“In this particular case one dog named Dizzy was very far into pregnancy, giving birth within a few weeks of the incident which shows the uncaring and callous nature of those involved all the more.

“Anyone involved in this type of crime is a sadistic and cowardly individual who the Humberside Wildlife Crime Team are always on the lookout for and always welcome information about.

“This crime was reported to us by a member of the public and I would like to offer my thanks to them and everyone else involved in bringing this case to a successful conclusion.”

Community Safety News


This is the time of year when it’s getting darker earlier and people are preparing for Christmas by making more purchases. Regretfully we have had a number of police messages come through this week relating to local break-ins, vehicle thefts and in particular burglaries from outlying buildings.
 
So it seems like a good time to remind everyone of the police advice:
 
Ensure homes and outlying buildings are fully locked when empty.
Invest in timer switches and security lights to help illuminate your home when you are not in. These are readily available from local shops and supermarkets. If you work full time, please be aware that on dull days, lights are now going on in houses from as early as 3.30pm. Homes in complete darkness will stand out as being unoccupied.
Ensure outside lights are working and that sensors are pointing in the appropriate directions.
Do not leave presents or expensive equipment on show or stacked up under the Christmas tree as these can be easily seen.
Do not tell people on social media that you are away.
Be aware of what you put out for recycling. Large TV or computer boxes will alert people to recent purchases. Turn these inside out or take them to the recycling centre instead.
Please pass on these messages to your neighbours. A well-lit and occupied street will help to deter opportunists.
