In the last 10 days, there have been 8 residential burglaries reported across rural towns and villages in our area, all when occupants are out, and often when residents are away on holiday, the MO is usually that rear doors are being smashed to gain entry and an untidy search being carried out with jewellery being stolen. On a couple of occasions rear ground floor windows have been jemmied, and one was a garage door being forced and quad bike & go cart stolen.
If you are going away from home then consider crime prevention measures such as ensuring valuables are kept out of sight and somewhere secure, asking a friend / neighbour you know and trust to house sit or conduct regular visits to check on your property for you or to use your drive. Crime prevention advice is available on the Humberside Police Website, and if you notice any suspicious activity in your area please contact Humberside Police Non-Emergency number 101 or 999 if a crime is in progress.
