Dear residents, please find crime data update for March 2026- I want to share and celebrate that last month was another generally positive month across the wards which could not of been achieved without all the work of you the community, our partners and the local policing team do on a daily basis. 

Crime Headlines:

On 14th March 2026, several youths entered a HOLIDAY PARK on ST ANTHONY’S BANK ROAD and stole a fire extinguisher before letting this off nearby causing damage and annoyance to owners and residents of Chalets. This matter is still under investigation and enquiries to confirm the identity of suspects are ongoing. 

On 20th March 2026, there was a robbery at a retail premises on HEWITTS CIRCUS, CLEETHORPES in which the suspect selected several cleaning products before verbally threatening staff with an unknown item secreted in his trousers to facilitate leaving the premises without making any payment for the items. Update- The suspect was arrested and charged with robbery and assault of an emergency worker. He has been remanded into custody and will stay there until he appears before the courts in due course to face sentence.
