Criminal offenders will be challenged robustly, arrested or reported for summons. Penalty Notices for Disorder or warning letters may be used in appropriate cases however, those who offend should expect to be arrested and dealt with if their anti social behaviour amounts to criminal offending.  The exercise of discretion should not be expected.

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
