Humberside Police

Detectives in Hull are warning people to be cautious about who you let into you into your homes, as criminals are trying a number of methods to gain entry to addresses. Frequently, police are called by members of the local community in Hull who have had items from their homes stolen by people who come to their doors claiming to be there to carry out home repairs and claim that they have been sent by companies to check things at the address. Often these people are criminals who target the elderly and vulnerable to try to steal money from their homes. It can be by either carrying out false repairs, or by distracting them and stealing their purses, wallets and handbags. The offenders often work in groups or pairs to help with the distraction of homeowners, so please be aware of this and think about just who you let into your house and can you be sure of the information they are giving you is correct?

Humberside Police

The party season is now in full swing, and whilst most people enjoy themselves by over indulging in the festive spirit by perhaps consuming excess food and drink, the temptation to try drugs or dabble in them can be too much for some to overcome. Humberside Police, Hull City Council and NHS Hull are working together to make people aware of the dangers and symptoms of drugs, particularly mephedrone, also known as MCAT. The partner agencies will also provide up-to-date information on how and where to access support agencies and networks which are available for everyone, from first time users, recreational users, addicts or concerned family and friends.
