Crime Alert - Burglary

Dear Resident,

Humberside Police are investigating a report of a burglary on Swinemoor lane, Beverley. 

The incident occurred between 5pm on the 24th January and 5am on the 26th January.   The offender(s) approached a residential property and entered the garage via unsecured door and stole cash and bank cards from the handbag inside the car. Please, it is important to NEVER leave valuables on display in a vehicle, even if it is an empty bag as offenders will not know its empty and will result in a smashed window for nothing.
