5. News and Appeals

Keep your presents off the burglars list this Christmas.

Well it’s that time of year again, the trees are going up, the Christmas Lights are being turned on, those Christmas decorations that have been on display in most of our larger shops since September now look relevant, and the same festive adverts are on the TV again and again.

Yes, Christmas is here and with it, the excitement and the frantic rushing around have begun in earnest. It’s a time when everything goes up a gear. We’re in a hurry; we need to do loads of things; we have so much to plan. But, if we’re not careful, whilst doing all of these things, we can become careless and lose sight of those simple crime prevention measures that we practice all year.  

Just as Christmas is a busy time for everyone, it can equally be a time of plenty for the opportunist thief if we let them take advantage of our rushing around. Follow these simple steps to avoid becoming a target for crime and have a crime free Christmas and New Year.

  • When shopping – be mindful of your bags and what’s inside them, try and use a bag that has a zip fastener and ensure that your purse/wallet and mobile phone are out of sight and out of easy reach of pick pockets.

  • Don’t leave your handbag unattended in shopping baskets or trolleys, pushchairs or mobility scooters.

  • In cafes and restaurants keep bags on your lap, between your feet or place the strap around a chair leg. 

  • Don’t hang your handbag on the back of your chair where you can’t keep an eye on it and don’t leave your mobile phone on view on a table. Mobile phones are frequently targeted by thieves and easily swiped when your back is turned even just for a minute.

  • Don’t leave any shopping bags or other items on view in your car, always ensure that they are out of view by placing them in the car boot.

  • Always try and park in a well lit car park or street and check that your car is secure!   

  • Consider your home security too - don’t leave the curtains open and all your presents and Christmas tree on display whilst you’re out.  Leave a radio on, use timer lights to ensure that it looks like that someone is at home and ensure your property is secure by making sure that your garage door, house doors, garden sheds/outbuildings and windows are all locked.



Don’t give a thief an early Christmas present at your expense!

New Police Sergeant

A message from the new Police Sergeant for the Snaith, Howden, Pocklington and Wolds Weighton areas.

I would like to introduce myself as the new Police Sergeant of Goole and Pocklington /Wolds Weighton Policing Teams.
I am really pleased to have been selected to manage the team, following the recent move of my predecessor Sergeant Ryan Reed. Ryan will be moving to Bridlington to set up a new early intervention team, aim at targeting young offenders and lead them away from a life of crime. 
My name is David Lonsdale and I have been working for Humberside Police for over 13 years. In that time I have undertaken a number of different and challenging roles. Initially I joined as a response officer before becoming a Neighbourhood officer and more recently  on promotion I worked as Detective Sergeant at Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
Prior to my promotion as a Detective Sergeant I had spent most of my career within the East Riding and especially in Goole and the surrounding villages. I am very familiar with the area and the unique policing challenges that it brings. I am passionate about policing and have a real sense urge to drive down crime rates and tackle the causes of crime and anti-social behavior which causes so much stress and anxiety to others. I am keen to hear about the issues facing the town and your expectations of the police and suggestions to improve community relationships. 
I am looking forward to bringing my experience and knowledge to the team and with it I will hopefully bring new and innovative ideas and working practices so that we can deliver the service that the community of Goole, Pocklington and the surrounding areas deserve.
Over the next few months I will be attending as many community events as possible. I want to meet as many local residents that I can and make sure you get to know my face. I am approachable and always willing to listen.  I have already attended a number of meetings and look forward to future meetings as it is an excellent way in which to engage the community.
If you wish to talk to me about any issue then please contact me or have any suggestions or ideas to improve the service we currently deliver please make contact with me at Goole Police Station, Estcourt Street, Goole DN14 5AF.
Sgt David Lonsdale

Funding Raising Venture

Hi Everyone,

I would be very grateful if you would consider donating to Rebecca's fund raising venture.  Unfortunately she was diagnosed with Epilepsy two summers ago and is still coming to terms with it herself.  We are extremely proud of how she has coped with this and managed through her AS year.  As she finishes her A2 year at Archbishop Holgate's School, she wanted to do this fundraiser by cutting off her lovely long brown hair before Christmas - much to my dismay!  She is donating the hair to the Little Princesses charity who make human hair wigs for children affected by chemotherapy and alopecia and is raising funds for both Epilespy Action and Macmillan Cancer Support.  
Thanks in advance
Susan and Stephen Smith

Tracing Family History

I have received the email below.

I wonder if anyone can help . I have been looking into my family background and a family bible informs me that my paternal grandmother was born in Bielby on 10th June 1881.
Her name was Hannah Jane Smith and I believe she had three sisters and one brother. Although unlikely I wondered if any of the family descendants still live in the village or area . My wife and I visit Pocklington regularly during the summer and have visited the village on several occasions.
Many thanks
Paul Benson


I have Paul's email if anyone has any information. Thanks

Britain In Bloom

“At the last Parish meeting we agreed to pay for people to plant flowers, put up flower boxes, hanging baskets etc to go outside houses, on verges etc to make the village look nice and possibly apply for Britain in Bloom if we get enough people to take part. We would be looking for people to volunteer to plant flowers and look after them if they are willing to put them outside their property or volunteer to put them around the village. Please contact Paul Ward if you would be willing to brighten up the village”. You can email Paul on pm242@btinternet.com

Halloween and Bonfire Night

Halloween is a time of fun for kids and families.  But it’s not fun for everyone.

Humberside Police knows not everyone wants to be involved in Halloween and there are times when what seems innocent fun to some people, can bring real fear to elderly or vulnerable residents.

Humberside Police are carrying out a campaign over the Halloween and Bonfire Night period to help combat associated crime, reduce incidents of anti-social behaviour and provide advice and support to local communities.

Chief Inspector James Glansfield who is overseeing the policing operation said:

“Officers from community policing teams have visited schools across the force area to speak about anti-social behaviour urging youngsters to enjoy the festivities without becoming a nuisance in their neighbourhood.

“We would ask parents and carers to keep children safe and to know where they are and what they are doing. Mischief Night is not a license to cause criminal damage.

“A local agreement with retailers is also being refreshed to remind them of their responsibility not to sell flour and eggs to youngsters on the run up to Halloween and Mischief Night.”

“Please note that fireworks, including sparklers, can only be purchased from registered sellers for private use between 15 October to 10 November.  At other times fireworks can only be bought from licensed shops.  You can be fined up to £5,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 6 months for selling or using fireworks illegally. You could also get an on-the-spot fine of £90.  Shops that sell fireworks are reminded that it is illegal to sell fireworks to anyone under the age of 18.”

The Humberside Police website and Facebook page will be featuring crime prevention advice, a printable copy of the "Sorry no trick or treat" posters, the “Haunter’s Code” and a poster specifically aimed at preventing youngsters buying eggs and flour from shops on the run up to Halloween and Mischief Night.

Chief Inspector Glansfield added:

"Sorry no trick or treat" posters will also be available from local police officers for those who do not wish to be disturbed on Halloween.

“The number of calls for service we receive could have an impact on our response times so please bear this in mind.  If your call is not urgent please don’t block the lines preventing other important calls coming through.”

Humberside Police would like to offer the following crime prevention advice to people for Halloween. By following this simple advice you could prevent yourself from becoming a victim of crime.

* If you don’t want callers at your home on Halloween please display the "Sorry no trick or treat" poster in your window and/or on your door. This will let people who are out taking part in the festivities know that you do not wish to be disturbed.

* Are you taking your child/children out trick or treating or to a bonfire display? If so please don’t make your home a target for a burglar.  An opportunist thief will know that people will be out and about leaving their homes empty. Make it look like you have somebody at home by leaving a light on and NEVER leave valuables on display.

* If you are driving, then make sure that you don't leave anything on display when you leave your vehicle. Thieves work under the cover of darkness and will damage your vehicle to get to anything you might leave on the seats or foot well.

* Make sure your children are safe and be aware that there will be a number of people out and about between peak hours of 4pm to 8pm.

* Please be aware that during Halloween, and the nights running up to it, calls to police, especially in relation to ASB, can be significantly higher than normal. This may increase the call answering times so please be aware of this.

* THINK do you really need to call the police? Calls for service are generally higher around this time of year so please consider if it is the police you really need and just how important is it?
