Crime in Yarborough, North East Lincolnshire

Throughout the different seasons, we experience spikes of anti-social behaviour in several locations across the Yarborough ward. As we are now coming into the spring and summer months, we do expect an increase in anti-social behaviour.

Each report comes with different solutions, such as Rapid Deployment Cameras, Community Protection Warnings or an increased Police presence alleviating resident’s concerns.

Over recent months we have experienced an increase in nuisance motorbikes on the ward area, particularly in the Laceby Acres area as the bikes make their way to and from the fields at the rear of Morrisons. We have had dedicated operation Yellowfin days of action where we have had success in seizing bikes and issuing traffic offence reports to riders.

We will continue to have as much presence as possible within our high ASB areas, which are mentioned above. We will continue to work with our partner agencies to look at solutions to these issues.

Your local team will continue to monitor reports and areas of increased reports and will respond by completing Humber talking surveys to establish the extent of issues before tailoring a bespoke solution that we anticipate will be most effective.

We recognising the significant impact that repeated thefts and disruptive incidents have on our local retail stores, their staff and the wider community. These offences place pressure on businesses, affect staff wellbeing and can influence how safe people feel when shopping.

To address this, we are strengthening our work with retailers to help prevent crime and improve safety. We will maintain regularly contact with stores, providing crime prevention and support staff with reporting and responding to incidents. By building strong relationships and sharing information with retail stores and security teams we can better identify repeat offenders and focus patrols where they are most needed. Through this partnership approach we aim to reduce crime, support our retailers and create safer more confident communities. 18/02/2026
