There were 2846 fewer victims of crime across North and North East Lincolnshire, between 01 April 2012 and 31 March 2013. This is in comparison to figures between 01 April 2011 and 31 March 2012. End of year figures for the Southbank Division, which consists of both North East Lincolnshire and North Lincolnshire, show that all crime across the two areas was reduced by 10.1% and the number of victims of crime, who were satisfied with the overall service provided was up by 3.7%. The biggest reduction in crime, across the Southbank was in the number of people who were victims of criminal damage. There were 961 fewer offences than in the previous recording period. This area of crime saw a reduction of 16.7%. Violent crime with injury was reduced by 1.5%. The most significant reduction for the division is the 129 fewer victims of burglary across the area.

Operation Rogue Trader
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. Detective Inspector Simon Gawthorpe said: “This operation will see officers from across the force, working very closely with Trading Standards Officers to tackle doorstep crime and rogue traders. “The people who carry out these types of offences target the elderly and…
