Crime Alert - Burglary

Dear Resident,

Humberside Police are investigating a report of a burglary on Queens Court, Grimsby.

The incident occurred between 9:30pm-10:30pm on Friday 03/10/2025. The offender(s) have damaged a key-safe on the outside of a property and used the key to gain entry to the property. The offender was not seen inside the property nor are there any items missing from the address, but it is believed the offender has gained entry as the key was left in the lock on the outside of the door. 

Further enquiries have revealed that a separate resident on Queens Court has had their key-safe stolen and another resident also has a damaged key-safe box and that key is missing. These two incidents also happened on the same evening. 

If you have any CCTV footage (including video doorbell), saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area around this time or have any information about the offenders please contact the police on the non-emergency number 101 quoting occurrence ref: 25*138959.
