Neighbourhood Watch 

The prevention of crime in our village is to everyone’s benefit and this system is a
simple and obvious way to help each other as well as our police officers. Anyone interested in doing so, please telephone me: 01482 868704, or drop me a line:
31, Waudby Close, Walkington HU17 8SA.
George Southern

 Non Urgent contact for the Police
If you want to contact the police for non-urgent issues 24 hours, 7 days a week,
please dial 101.
This number replaces the old (much longer) numbers which will continue to operate for the time being. 

CRIME PREVENTION ADVICE
 Humberside Police are committed to reducing crime, but just by following the advice below, you can
help us to help you beat the burglars! Please remember the following:
* Check all windows and doors for effective security and fit window locks.
* If you have a house alarm – set it when going out and when retiring for the night
    set the downstairs zone if possible.
  • * If you hear a house alarm – report it, please don’t presume someone else has.
       Please report on the Non Emergency Number which is 101.
  • * Leave lights on when going out, or better still, invest in timer switches.
  • * Do not leave keys or handbags on display, especially in the kitchen or where they could be ‘hooked’ through a gap such as a letter box.
  • * If you are going away, tell a neighbour how long you expect to be away for if possible.
  • * If you see someone who appears out of place or acting suspiciously, please report it.

     Be aware
     It has been reported that, in neighbouring villages, ‘distraction callers’ are knocking
    on doors asking for help. This can be something like asking for a glass of water for a
    sick child. While you are away getting this, they come into the house to steal whatever they can.
    Do be aware of this. If you have any doubts about strangers calling at your door, telephone a
    neighbour or a friend to seek help. In these circumstances, keep
    the door locked or use a security chain and prevent casual callers getting into your
    house – and do not forget to keep your backdoor locked as well.

    Other than that, vandalism is occurring in and around our village. Our locality is
    defaced and devalued by damaging fencing, graffiti etc, which is expensive to repair
    or remove. Anyone observing such vandalism taking place should report it immediately to the police.
