HumberTalking

Humber Talking is still being undertaken in the North Holderness area.

We will be speaking with householders on their doorstep however if you would rather participate online and highlight any issues you think the Police should be dealing with, please visit the website - www.mycommunityalert.co.uk/humbertalking

Your responses help us better understand our area and prioritise issues to be tackled.

Drugs – Intelligence

Drugs – Ongoing core priority - Intelligence – We continue to review and act on drugs intelligence. For operational and data protection reasons we are unable to give specific details of locations / premises or persons that we are currently investigating. We have been working with other agencies to tackle individuals of concern linked to drug misuse.

We ask that you report any concerns around drugs misuse that you have. You may have information that adds to an ongoing concern, and this can really help when we apply for Warrants. You can speak to us at Hornsea Police Station in confidence or alternatively report anonymously via ‘CrimeStoppers’ at https://crimestoppers-uk.org/

ASB – Off road bikes and electric scooters

Numerous reports from residents regarding off-road bikes and electric scooters being ridden dangerously in and around Hornsea. Often on footpaths, swerving in and out of pedestrians including children. From reported sightings, both appear to be young males wearing tracksuit type clothing with black balaclavas.

To address this, we will continue to carry out Humber talking to identify any specific areas where the bike and scooter are going. Along with our patrol colleagues we will complete regular patrols through the areas identified. We will act on information naming the individuals responsible and deal with any offences/suspect appropriately and robustly.

Local Residential Homes - Ongoing liaison

Hornsea officers continue with weekly drop-in sessions to several of our care establishments within the town. A proportion of reported crimes relate to individuals who may be suffering a mental health episode. It is our intention to reduce incidents of reported missing persons and potential offending by engaging with staff and residents at the earliest opportunity.

Theft of tools from vans – Hornsea town and surrounding areas

Over recent weeks, we have received 4 reports of vans being broken into and valuable tools being stolen. Many of these are high value power tools. All thefts have been carried out under the cover of darkness. It is likely that a vehicle is being used in the transportation of the tools.

We will be increasing high visibility patrols in the evening and early hours of the morning and continue to use MyCommunityAlert to send residents target hardening advice surrounding leaving high value tools in vehicles overnight. We will continue to view CCTV and consider forensic opportunities to identify those responsible.
