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."

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.”

Keeping your caravan secure

You know how valuable your own home is to you and how important it is to keep it secure. Imagine how you’d feel if someone broke in.

But what about your caravan?

On holiday or touring, you rely on it as your home. How would you feel if somebody broke in or stole it?

Don’t give thieves the opportunity.

Follow these simple steps to secure your caravan and your valuables inside it.

When your caravan is not in use
Remove all your personal belongings and contents when you are not using your caravan. Leave cupboard doors and curtains open, this may help to deter opportunist thieves if they can see it’s empty.
Store your caravan securely. If you are choosing a storage site, don’t just look at the price. Check to see that it offers good security measures.
If you are leaving your caravan at home, ask a neighbour to keep an eye on your caravan as well as your home. Consider fixing good security posts on your drive to prevent your caravan being stolen.
Store your caravan securely
Choose a site operated by the Caravan Storage site Owners Association (CaSSOA)
Check to see if it offers good security measures for example secure posts to which your caravan can be hitch-locked, ground anchors, security staff or CCTV.
Remember if you can enter the storage area and remove your caravan without being approached, then so can a thief.
Devices for securing your caravan
Locking the coupling head into a cover using a good quality hitch lock.
Using locking wheel nuts and a good quality clamp on the caravan wheels.
Chaining your caravan to a robust and secure point. Use a heavy duty chain that is made out of hardened steel to reduce the chance of it being cut through.
Installing a reliable alarm system (GSM)and tracking device.
Protect your caravan and belongings
Ensure you close and lock your doors, windows and roof lights when you leave your caravan.
Don’t leave anything valuable on display, laptops etc.
Consider security marking any valuables.
Never leave Caravan Registration and identification documents (CRis) in your caravan.
Buying a caravan
Check that the chassis number hasn’t been removed or altered.
Before buying privately, consider checking the caravans history on CRiS.
Check all the keys are available and correct.
Check the number plate is the same as the one on the tow vehicle. Be wary if temporary or handwritten number plates are used.
Always ask about built in security features such as an alarm or tracking device, caravan safe, hitch-lock or wheel clamps.
Caravan facts

Caravans manufactured since 1992 by the National Caravan Council members are recorded on the CRiS database by their unique 17 digital Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) The 17 digit vehicle identification document (VIN) should be stamped onto the caravan chassis and etched on the windows.

Even if you own a pre-1992 caravan, or imported your own caravan into the UK, you can still register it with CRiS yourself.

All caravans manufactures since August 1997 are electronically tagged for added security.
