Crime Alert - Criminal Damage - Play Park on Captains Close, Goole

Dear Resident,

 

Humberside Police are investigating a report of Criminal Damage to the play park fence on Captains Close, Goole. 

The wooden fence has been damaged on several occasions, it was last repaired in April 2025 and has been damaged again since then. It is believed that some young people are accessing the park on Captains Close, by going through the back via Carrfields. They are believed to be damaging and/or removing the 6ft wooden fence panels from the park perimeter fence, in order to access the park from Carrfields.

 

This criminal damage is unnecessary and causes a nuisance to local residents. Please can we ask parents to speak with their children and ask them to use the the correct entry/exit point on Captains Close itself, in order to access the park.

 

If you have any CCTV footage (including video doorbell) or have any information about the offender(s) who have been causing this damage then please contact PCSO 7704 HART from the Goole Neighbourhood Policing Team via email on katie.hart@humberside.police.uk

  • Consider defensive planting by planting spikey plants or bushes.
  • Keep the area around your property free from rubbish and debris as best you can.
