WARNINGS FROM NORTH YORKSHIRE POLICE
. .
If you have any information related to the
following incidents which have occurred in the last month in
North Yorkshire please contact NYP on 101
The following messages include warnings and incidents that
have happened in North Yorkshire but not necessarily in your own area.
Selby Police would like to remind local residents to remain vigilant of rogue
traders in the area. Rogue traders will offer to carry out work on your property
such as roofing, guttering work, driveway/patio re-surfacing and other general
house repairs. They are usually not qualified, are un-reliable and will carry out
poor quality work - that’s if they actually finish the job!
If you are interested in getting work done ask the trader for a written quotation and
tell him you will inform him later if his quotation is acceptable.
The Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 requires that a Trader gives a 14 day
cooling off period for goods and services costing more than £42. This is a legal
requirement and must be given.
If you feel that a rogue trader has approached
you please call NYP.
Recently it is believed that offenders were disturbed by the alarm when breaking
into outbuildings on Northfield Road, Womersley. If you have any information or
seen anything suspicious please contact North Yorkshire police.
Recently an attempt was made to break into Chapel Haddlesey school by
jimmying open a heavy-duty wood door. If you have any information or seen
anything suspicious please contact North Yorkshire Police on 101.
Recently a shed at the rear of a property in Little Smeaton was broken into. 2
petrol push mowers and a petrol strimmer were stolen. If you have any
information, please call North Yorkshire Police on 101.
Recently two properties under construction on sites in Hensall had been targeted
by unknown offenders.
Offenders firstly entered a site on Snaith Road, Hensall
and jemmied the window shutters on two metal storage containers. Tools were
stolen along with vehicle keys from the office to a VW Caddy pickup. Offenders
loaded the tools into the back of the VW caddy pickup and drove to a
neighbouring house construction site on Station Road, Hensall.
They then
jemmied open a metal storage container used to store tools and materials and
stole several items from within. The same stolen vehicle from the first site was
used to load stolen items from the second and then was driven through a fence
onto A645 and towards the direction of Snaith. Please remain vigilant and if you
have any information or seen anything suspicious please contact North Yorkshire
Police on 101.
Recently unknown offenders attacked a car that was parked on the school car
park in Kirk Smeaton. The passenger window of the vehicle was smashed and a
laptop computer was stolen. Please remain vigilant with vehicle security and
report any information, suspicious persons, vehicles and or activity to North
Yorkshire police on 101.
There has recently been a rise in reports of a male (possibly two) attending
addresses purporting to be window cleaners. These males will have limited
window cleaning equipment (if any) and will use the guise of being a window
cleaner to enter residents property. This then enables them to steal items from
within the victims homes without their knowledge.
Recently a garage belonging to a property in Whitley was broken into and large
amounts of Golfing items were stolen including a Power Caddy Bag and Trolley,
full set of Left Handed Callaway Clubs, Claude Butler Road Bike, and Karcher
Pressure Washer. If you have any information regarding this please ring North
Yorkshire Police on 101.
It is apparent that people in North Yorkshire are being targeted by phone
scammers posing as police officers
It occurs when fraudsters phone their target
and tell them they have been the victim of fraud.
The victim is then duped into
handing over personal details, often to a second fraudster posing as a bank
employee,
Banks or Police officers will never ask you for personal details on the phone or via
email, or send someone to your home to collect cards or cash Any information
please contact NYP on 101.
Recently a cooker and new light fittings were stolen from a newly completed
house in Thorpe Willoughby. If you have any information or seen anything
suspicious please contact North Yorkshire Police on 101.
Recently a blue Ifor Williams 505 horse trailer was stolen from West Haddlesey.
It was bearing the registration plate YB64 VNP. A pink bungee rope was tied to
the rear tie ring. It was seen being towed away by an old type brown 4 x 4 vehicle.
If you have any information please call North Yorkshire Police on 101.
Recently a male purporting to be from TV Licensing called at an elderly female’s
address and asked to gain entry to her property and also for her National
Insurance Number.
Police are reminding people to check the identity of any cold
callers and if in any doubt do not allow them access to your property. Also that
agencies would never ask for personal details such as national Insurance
Numbers.
