West Carr

Can you help?

Dear West Carr Resident

Over the last few week we have seen an increase in the amount of fires that are occurring on Bude Park. I would like to reassure you that your local community policing team are aware of this and are patrolling the area and will take positive action with any offender should the evidence allow. I would also like to reassure you that we are working with our partner agencies to try and reduce these types of incident.

Most of the fires on the park have been wheelie bins which have been taken from residential properties or from on the street when they have been left out before / after waste collection days. I would like to ask residents to assess if there wheelie bin is easily accessed if so think about moving them to a different location not as accessible or look at securing them to prevent them being taken.

We are starting to develop information on  potential suspects in relation to these fires but do ask If you have any information about who is involved to reply to this alert and i will get back in touch with you in due course. Any further incidents please contact us via the 101 number for non emergencies or 999 if it is an emergency.

Regards
West Carr Community Policing Team

Good News!


Karl Pettitt (52), formerly of North Bar Without, Beverley, appeared in court following an extensive investigation by Humberside Police supported by the National Crime Agency into his criminal enterprise.

On conclusion of the four week trial, Detective Inspector Simon Vickers spoke about the investigation, “Pettitt was clearly living beyond his means since being released from prison for previous drugs offences in 2016.

“His lifestyle included extravagant socialising and expensive designer clothing.  His income seemingly coming from an antiques business initially in Hull’s trendy Humber Street and then in Beverley’s up-market North Bar Within.

“He manipulated people and exploited their vulnerabilities, leaving a trail of debt and misery behind him.

“Pettitt had a previous conviction in 2007 where he was sentenced to 22 years (reduced to 16 years on appeal) in prison for drug dealing.  He was released from HMP Humber in October 2016, having served 10 years in jail, then settling in Hull.  He then began to have all the trappings of a wealthy lifestyle and suspicions were raised about how he was able to finance such a lifestyle.

“What was uncovered during our investigation was a history of drug dealing, debt, lies and deception and once we had enough evidence to support our case we were able to act and arrest him.”

Karl Pettitt was arrested in April 2019 as part of a joint operation between the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Humberside Police where a number of warrants were executed in the East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull. During the operation a large quantity of the class A drugs (cocaine) was recovered.  Pettitt was recalled to prison following a breach of his prison release conditions, where he remained to serve a further 30 months of his original prison sentence.

His drug dealing drew in other local criminal Jordan Marsh (20)  who appeared in court as a co-defendant in the conspiracy to supply.”

Karl Pettitt appeared in court on charges of conspiracy to supply class A drugs (cocaine), possession with intent to supply class A drugs.  Marsh appeared on charges of conspiracy to supply class A drugs (cocaine) and supply of class B drugs. 

Karl Pettitt was found guilty of conspiracy to supply to supply class A drugs (cocaine) and will be sentenced on 14 May 2021.

Alison Abbott, from the NCA’s lifetime management unit said: “Pettitt was subject to lifetime management by the NCA after he was convicted in 2007 for drugs smuggling.

“Upon his release from prison, strict conditions meant he had to report his finances and movements to us – something he failed to do numerous times.

“Working with our partners at Humberside, further investigative work led to his re-arrest and today’s outcome.

“This should serve as a reminder to career criminals and their criminal associates that once someone is on our radar, they don’t come off, and the NCA will act upon breaches of any conditions to disrupt serious and organised crime."

Detective Inspector Simon Vickers added, “I know that Karl Pettitt’s activities have seriously impacted on the lives of those he came into contact with.  I hope that this sentence will give some comfort to our community and offers a deterrent to those who believe they can prosper from a life of criminality.

“Pettitt, clearly convinced so many people that he was a legitimate business man while continuing to fund his lifestyle by selling drugs to the most vulnerable in our society.

“I want to thank my deputy investigating officer Ian Dobson, the officer in the case DC Karl Palmer, the CPS and the prosecution team for their tireless work in bringing Karl Pettitt to justice.  It is this type of case that gives us the biggest work-load but the biggest rewards too.

“Locking up criminals like Karl Pettitt is what we come to work for.”

Four arrested in day of action against County Lines drug dealing


Following five warrants and two property searches by our Op Galaxy and proactive team across Hull, a total of four men have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs.

A 23-year-old man was arrested at a property on Belmont Street, where approximately £1,500 worth of suspected Class A drugs were recovered, as well as almost £600 in cash.

A 53-year-old man was also arrested on Wath Grove, an 18-year-old man on St Giles Court and 21-year-old man on Newland Avenue.

Detective Inspector Simon Vickers said: “County Lines drugs gangs often originate out of the area, but use the road and public transport networks and local people to supply drugs into our communities.

“Vulnerable people, often teenagers and sometimes children, are exploited into becoming involved in organised criminality, and communities can become plagued with illicit substances and anti-social behaviour that often comes from drug use and dealing.

“The impact this type of offending has on our communities is the reason we take it so seriously, and days like today help to disrupt these criminal networks and remove drugs from our streets.

“We will also work with our partner agencies to support the vulnerable people being used, as well as provide reassurance and wrap around care to our communities affected.

“Our action against drug gangs remains ongoing and we will continue to take these people, and drugs, off the streets.

“I would like to thank members of the public who have provided us with information so far and would appeal for anyone who believes they have any information that may be able to assist with our action against drugs to contact us on 101.

“Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you don’t feel comfortable speaking to police and would prefer to stay anonymous.”

In addition to local officers our patrols are routinely bolstered by specialist Officers from our Roads Policing, and Operations department.
 
4.            Road Safety
 
As with most other areas, road safety is something in which we can improve upon in our rural communities.
 
Action
We hold regular proactive road safety campaigns with the Highways Authority which include speed enforcement in hot spot locations                                
 
MARCH 2021 – B1239 Preston Road Bilton and B1238 Main Road Wyton have been raised, via Humbertalking, as a community concern for speeding vehicles.
 
UPDATE: during April, Officers have conducted speed checks in Wyton along with enforcement to those found exceeding the limit. A Check Your Speed reminder sign has been positioned on Preston Lane; further checks will be carried out along with Holmes Lane, Bilton and New Ellerby during May 2021.

Catalytic Converter theft                   
 
To reduce the risk of having your catalytic converter stolen, you should:
 
Park your car in a locked garage where possible, but if this isn’t an option, then park it in a well-lit and well-populated area
 
Park close to fences, walls or a kerb with the exhaust being closest to the fence, wall or kerb to make the theft more difficult
 
Avoid parking your vehicle half on the pavement and half on the road, as this may make it easier for thieves to access the catalytic converter
 
If there is a fleet of vehicles, park the low clearance vehicles to block the high clearance vehicles. This will obstruct access underneath
 
If parking in a public car park, consider parking alongside other cars and facing you bonnet towards the wall if possible. With the catalytic converter positioned at the front of your vehicle, this will make it harder for thieves to get close enough to steal it
 
For thefts occurring on driveways, consider the use of a Secured by Design (SBD) approved driveway alarm and sensor. This may assist in alerting you of a potential intruder entering your driveway or garden
If your catalytic converter is bolted on, you can ask for your local garage to weld the bolts to make it more difficult to remove.
 
Alternatively, you can mark your catalytic converter. Please ensure any property marking is Secured by Design (SBD) approved
 
If you see someone acting suspiciously under a vehicle, report it to the Police. Obtain as much information as possible, including any vehicle registrations
