As part of Operation Rogue Trader, Humberside Police are taking part in a day of action to target those people who target elderly and vulnerable people, by charging them extortionate prices for work to be carried out at their homes. Officers from across the force will be working with representatives from local Trading Standards authorities to disrupt those people who are intent on par taking in this type of criminal activity and to engage with the public to get the message out about rogue traders. Rogue traders target homes all across the force and officers will act quickly to try and catch these opportunist thieves before they target more homes. Recently in Hull a man was jailed for 16 months after being found guilty of selling fish to an elderly couple. Christopher Williams (31), sold £20 worth of fish to a couple for £2280. Williams was quickly apprehended by officers and appeared at Hull Crown Court earlier this month.

WILL YOU BE FOLLOWING THE HAUNTER’S CODE THIS HALLOWEEN…?

October 31, 2012
By

Halloween and Bonfire Night are celebrations which tend to spark off opinion about what is acceptable when it comes to trick or treating and what falls into the category of anti-social behaviour. The emergency services receive a high number of calls during this time of year, so the police is asking residents to use common sense when calling the police service. Parents are urged to make sure their children who are trick or treating or going out unsupervised are aware of safety issues and behave sensibly and within the law. If residents do not want to be disturbed by trick or treaters, they can display a sign in their window or on the door which says ‘Sorry, no trick or treat .’ and we advise people to not answer the door. This will hopefully reduce any animosity between the householder and trick or treaters if they do not wish to participate in the festivities. The poster and leaflet are available from Neighbourhood Policing Teams in Hull and they have been sent out electronically to various groups who are part of the Neighbourhood Network to display in public viewing areas. For those who like to keep up the tradition of trick…
