Humberside Police has teamed up with KC to inform communities across Hull and the East Riding about the importance of not becoming victims of crime. 

KC has sponsored a number of crime prevention signs, which offer help and advice to local communities in areas which have seen recent criminal activity such as burglaries and theft from cars. 

Inspector Mark Coulthard, Neighbourhood Inspector for Beverley, Driffield and Hornsea areas, who is leading the project said: “I am really pleased that a local, well established and respected company such as KC has agreed to sponsor our crime prevention signs.  The signs will be placed in the community by my officers in areas where they may have been some recent issues to reinforce the message to people to take care of their possessions.  

“Most crimes are committed by opportunist thieves who look for the easy target, unlocked doors or windows, mobile phones or Sat Nav's left in cars.  Working together with the community, local businesses, and the local authorities, we aim to reduce the numbers of victims of crime and make our area, even safer." 

Nick Thompson, Director of Consumer and Publishing Services said: “The safety and welfare of our local communities is paramount and we are delighted that we are working in partnership with Humberside Police to help them continue to keep our communities safe through their crime prevention initiative.” 

For advice on how to protect yourself from becoming a victim of crime please conatct your local neighbourhood team by ringing 0845 6060222 or look on the Humberside Police Website for updated information about where you live.
