The Neighbourhood Policing Team covering the Beverley St Mary’s Ward is investigating each report and enquiries are being made to identify those responsible.

However the NPT are appealing to residents in the area to be vigilant especially during the hours of darkness and report any suspicious behaviour near vehicles to police immediately.

PC Martin PEPPER, the Neighbourhood Beat Officer for the ward said: ‘It would appear that the vehicles are being targeted as a result of parking ‘half on – half off’ the footpaths and we strongly suspect that a local resident may be responsible. We are making all attempts to identify the offender and bring them to justice.

“However we need the local public to help and would urge anyone with information about the offences or who may be responsible to contact Humberside Police on 101 or alternatively Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 55 111.”
