House Burglaries |

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding House burglary, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. Humberside Police have received numerous reports in the Immingham areas regarding House Burglaries. Entries to properties have either been through an insecure door where the doors were not locked or via key from a key safe being taken from a house wall. These have mainly been occurring during the night but also early evenings. Even when at home, please make sure that doors/windows are secured front and rear and make sure that vehicle keys are kept in a secure place away from the front door. During the burglaries, in some cases, vehicles have also been stolen via taking vehicle keys from within properties. If able to do so, please use a steering lock on vehicles to try and prevent vehicles from being stolen. Please report any suspicious activity via 101 or if a crime is in progress, please report via 999. If any CCTV captures any suspicious activities, please also make us aware of this so identifications can hopefully be made going forward. Burglary is a particularly invasive crime that can have a lasting impact on victims. If you have been a victim and need support and help, you should have been offered the services of Victim Support. You may have declined at the time, or not noticed the offer, but can refer yourself at any time by either calling 0808 168 9111 or visiting their website www.victimsupport.org.uk.
Burglars do not want to get caught, so taking action to make your home or business premises safe and less attractive to thieves can go a long way to reducing the risk.
Not all advice, or security products recommended are the same, or necessarily fit for purpose.
If looking to take positive action to prevent yourself from being a victim of this type of crime, help and advice can be found on the Neighbourhood Watch website.
If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.humberside.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.
Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
