Two incidents occurred overnight on Wednesday 28 November 2012 to Thursday 29 November 2012 which resulted in a total of four cars being stolen after keys had been taken from houses accessed via insecure doors. In one incident in The Willows area of Hessle a black Ford Focus was taken from a driveway by suspects. It is believed the car keys were taken after suspects gained entry to the house through an insecure door.

Superintendent Darren Downs said: “Humberside Police cannot stress enough how important it is to leave your property secure, even if you are just leaving it for a matter of minutes. “The incidents outlined above saw two houses targeted and tens of thousands of pounds worth of cars stolen. This type of crime can result in a huge financial loss. Not all insurance companies will cover you if your property was left insecure. “These crimes may not have even been committed had the doors been locked. “I appreciate that not all of these crimes can be…

Police and family are concerned for the welfare of an 11-year-old Elloughton boy who is currently missing from his home address. Benjamin Nicholls, known as Ben to his family and friends from Elloughton in Brough was last seen last night before going to bed shortly after 2100hrs (Tuesday 06 March 2012). Ben suffers from health problems, which deems him not socially adept and will want to be on his own. Ben is 11 years old, 4 ft 8ins tall, slim build and has short brown hair. Ben usually wears glasses, but these remain at home. It is thought Ben will be wearing his black Superdry coat, black boots and likely to be wearing jeans.

It is thought Ben, who enjoys walks, may be somewhere away from the public and possibly in a field or wooded area. Police are searching all likely places,…
