There has been an increase in burglaries within the Beverley and rural areas. Opportunists normally try their luck by checking door handles, so its important we keep doors locked at all times. Sensor lights are helpful, and we have noticed more and more CCTV doorbells which normally provide excellent footage and audio. If you have an up an over garage door it maybe a good idea to park your car, if you have one, up against it. Trellis panels on top of fences with rose thorns are a good deterrent , as is anti vandal paint. Don't ever leave anything on show in your vehicle, including empty bags. We might not be able to stop them but we can make it difficult for them. Follow us at Humberside Police East Riding South on social media for regular updates in your area.
