ARSON ALERTS

Dear Resident,

Humberside Police are wanting to make residents aware that at this time of year we often have an increase in wheelie bin fires.

Youths steal the wheelie bins from local residents and pull them on to nearby fields and Parks and set them on fire.

Staff from Pickering Road Police Station are increasing patrols in the areas to try to proactively deal with the issue.

Residents are encouraged to ensure bins are behind a locked gate or secured to an immovable object if possible and to by brought in after being emptied as soon as practicable.

Anybody who has any information or if you have been a victim of this crime please call 101.

Many thanks for your cooperation in this matter

Kind regards,   Ian Ferguson PCSO 7642
