Pocklington Police Report September 2018

Pocklington Provincial Update for September 2018

1. Crime and ASB
**Please note that due to a system error there is no ASB information for August**
TFMV – Theft from motor vehicle
TOMV – Theft of motor vehicle
ASB – Anti-social behaviour

Detailed crime and ASB data for your area can be obtained by visiting www.police.uk
and following the ‘Find your Neighbourhood’ link.  Also details of any particular
crimes or series of crimes of note e.g. serious assaults, run of Hanoi burglaries.


2. Community Priorities
  1. Pocklington Town Centre area (Evenings):

Throughout September we are to continue our high visibility patrols of the
Pocklington Town Centre area to deter potential anti-social behaviour. These
patrols include regular checks on peripheral areas at Pocklington Infants’
School, Maxwell Road (periodic reports of criminal damage and youths
causing annoyance), All Saints Church (periodic reports of anti-social
behaviour on an evening), the Tennis Club (reports of anti-social
behaviour, (ASB)) and town car parks (reports of low level anti-social
behaviour). 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.

  1. Pocklington – Vehicle related nuisance
To reduce anti-social behaviour (ASB) and its impact on the communities
within the Pocklington area as well as taking positive action against
offenders who cause ASB with their vehicles.  Hotspot areas in Pocklington
will be checked regularly and any drivers using their cars to cause alarm
or distress will be considered for warnings and possible seizure of their
vehicles under Section 59 of the Police Reform Act.


3. Crime Reduction Advice

Keep your keys and vehicles safe and
don’t be a “2 in 1” Victim


The term “2 in 1 burglary” is used when there are two offences in one,
for example when vehicle keys have been stolen in order for offenders
to take a car/van from outside a property.

These crimes have usually been committed overnight and often the offenders
have gained access to a house by forcing entry or by even using cat
flaps and letter boxes to put an instrument into the house to unhook car keys
from key hangers near to doors.

Here are some simple security measures that can be taken:

  • Keep all keys safe and out of sight. Never hang them near to doors
  • where they could be taken through a letterbox or near an open window.

  •  Never leave house or car keys in an obvious place like a handbag or
  • key cupboard.

  • If you’ve got a garage, use it rather than leaving your vehicle on the
  • driveway or the roadside.

  • Always keep your vehicle locked and secured. If your car doesn't
  • have an alarm/immobilizer then consider getting one fitted.

  • Consider extra security such as a steering wheel lock. (Steering locks
  • and gear level locks are often all that is needed to deter a thief as they
  • simply don't want the hassle of breaking in and trying to get them undone.)

  • Never leave any property in your car or van when it is unattended. It
  • takes criminals seconds to smash a window and grab something.

  • There is also a growing trend for vans to be targeted, so please keep
  • valuable tools in your home if you are self employed or at your place of work.

It is clear that offenders are looking at locations and vehicles prior to coming
back to commit the crimes. This could simply be someone looking around an
area during the day, someone pretending to do door to door sales, or
someone coming to your home on another pretext.

So, if you get a “cold caller” ask yourself:

  1. Is the caller coming to my home in any way suspicious?
  2. Is the caller paying attention to my car or asking me questions about it?

If so, give Humberside Police a call on the Non Emergency number 101 to
report your concerns.

2. Community Priorities

The Neighbourhood Policing Team meet regularly with partners to ensure we
have a multi-agency approach to local issues, individuals and problem solving. 
These meetings are regularly attended by partners including Humberside Fire
and Rescue Service, Youth and Family Support, Housing Officers, Environmental
Health and the East Riding Anti-Social Behaviour Team.  We share information
and resources to deal with local neighbourhood issues, in particular, those
identified as causing the most harm in the community.

  1. Market Weighton Town Centre area (Evenings):
Throughout September we are to continue our high visibility patrols of the
Market Weighton Town Centre area to deter potential anti-social behaviour
(ASB). These patrols include regular checks on the High Street and peripheral
areas of Londesborough Road Car Park, Scotts Croft Memorial Park, the town
council building area and the area surrounding the Giant Bradley statue
(periodic reports of youths causing annoyance). 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.

  1. Youths Causing Annoyance (Evenings):
Officers will continue patrols in the areas of Aspen Close, the park, the monkey
run & football field due to regular reports of low level anti-social behaviour.
Anyone caught engaging in such activities will be dealt with jointly with the
East Riding of Yorkshire Council.

  1. Vehicle related nuisance
To reduce anti-social behaviour (ASB) and its impact on the communities within
the Wolds Weighton area as well as taking positive action against offenders
who cause ASB with their vehicles.  Hotspot areas will be checked regularly and

Property Stolen

Paul Ward has sent this message. I have had a very old set of wooden ladders taken from the side of my house at The Byre. I am not sure why anybody would want to steal some ladders that are nearly as old and rickety as me but just be aware of people who may not be familiar to the village. I needed to replace them anyway so I hope whoever took them looks after them as they were a family heirloom.

Cheers

Paul

I (Sara) also read on the following on the Melbourne facebook page yesterday.

Please be aware that two secure properties were broken into sometime yesterday, one in Melbourne and one in Main Street, Everingham.

Please be extra vigilant and report any suspicious people or vehicles to the Police on the non emergency number 101 or 999 in an emergency or if a crime is occurring.
