NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED People living in the East Riding are less likely to be the victim of crime than people living in other areas served by Police. Although there has been an overall increase in crime, it is important to put the data in context and highlight that the primary reason for the overall increase is the rise in offences under the category ‘Violence against the person’. This is due to the increase in stalking and harassment offences that we now record under National Crime Recording Standards (NCRS). Many of these offences are committed online, involving people who already know each other, and previously would have been dealt with without the need to record a criminal offence. To put this into context, there were 20,979 offences committed in the last year which equates to less than 0.062 crimes per person. Although this an increase of 15% compared to 2017, it is still a relatively low figure compared with other areas especially considering that the East Riding has 333 settlements and four major settlements: , , and the Haltemprice area to the west of Hull. By comparison last year, 40,792 crimes were committed in Hull, 20,350 in and 19,758 in . So, in Hull and Grimsby there are over twice the number of crimes committed per person compared to East Yorkshire. 2. Crime issues of particular note The following list shows some of the crimes that have occurred in the previous month in your area.  3 vehicles made off from Glew Garage without paying for their fuel.  2 burglaries committed on South Parkway, Snaith. One where suspect smashed rear patio door and stole items from inside. Second where suspect smashed window to gain access to detachted garage but did not steal any items.  Theft from Motor Vehicle - £18,000 worth of cigarettes stolen from two TESCO lorries

3. 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. Issue: Youths Causing Annoyance in Market Place Snaith Officers will be patrolling in the above areas due to reports of youths congregating and causing a nuisance along with issues of littering and general Anti-Social Behaviour. Anyone caught engaging in such activities will be dealt with jointly with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. 2. Ferry Lane Snaith There have been reports of youths on motorbikes on Ferry lane Snaith. Allegedly the riders are speeding, generally causing a nuisance and riding without helmets. We will be patrolling and taking action when necessary. Another group also locate the area and congregate under the bridge. There have been reports about littering and graffiti. All offenders will be dealt with and their details passed onto the council. 3. Snaith Station Car Park. Now the nights are darker another area of concern from the community is the station car park on George Street Snaith. We often get reports of ‘boy racers’ congregating and causing harassment, alarm and distress. We will enforce where necessary by issuing section 59 warnings. The warning will give us the power to seize the vehicle if the driver has previously been warned in the last 12 months and continue being a nuisance. 4. Priory Way Snaith There has been a report of graffiti along the snicket from The Priory Church up behind Priory Way towards the high school. We are in the process of trying to identify who the offenders are and will be patrolling the area on an evening. Please can you pass on any information to us that may assist us in our enquiries. If anyone recognises the graffiti in the photographs and can name the offenders then please pass on this information to us

4. Crime Reduction Advice Online Fraud Online fraud covers a variety of incidents - including online banking, auction websites, identity theft and online shopping to name just a few. It is often very easy for some people to forget that they are not dealing face to face with someone and believe what they see to be true, without reservation, or the sort of caution you might apply in dealing with someone face to face. “Phishing, vishing and smishing” relates to any website, online service, phone call or text message which poses as a company or brand you recognise such as your bank.Any contact like this is designed to convince you to hand over valuable personal details or your money, or download something that infects your computer. The three terms are all plays on the word ‘fishing’, in that the fraudsters fish for potential victims by sending emails (phishing), social media messages or text messages (smishing) or making phone calls with urgent messages (vishing) in the hope of persuading someone to visit the bogus website or to call them back. Action Fraud have produced some very useful steps which you can take in order to prevent yourself becoming a victim of fraud or cyber crime. You can view these on their website by visiting the Action Fraudwebsite: (actionfraud.police.uk). Below are some example hints/tips to help keep your online shopping/banking a safe and secure experience:

Online banking  If you use online banking it’s important you keep passwords and personal details private to stop criminals accessing your account.  Banks will never ask you to reveal your full password on the phone or by email.  When using online banking be aware of who can see your screen and make sure you log out properly.

Auction Websites  Online auctions are popular with shoppers -when using auction sites always use strong passwords and never give your passwords to anyone.  When paying on auction sites never transfer the money direct to a bank account. Secure sites such as PayPal areusually safer – however payments can be reversed – check the seller's feedback before making a purchase.  Always make sure you have received payment for sales on auction sites before you dispatch the goods – and when posting, use a fully tracked and signed for postal service.  Remember if something appears too good to be true, then it usually is.

Online Shopping  Shopping online can often save time and effort but there are risks too. When shopping online make sure the retailer is reputable, research them online and make sure they have an addressand phone number.  Look out forsecure "https" links in the address of the website to ensure the site is secure in its payment/form handling methods.  Paying online by credit card can offer greater protection than other payment methods.  Try to use different passwords for different websites - sharing passwords can be very risky.  Fake scam versions of corporate sites may be set up that look almost identical to the original site - yet may be completely fake. Always check the web address of the page and ensure it is the official website.
