Tackling anti social behaviour in Winterton

Issued 27 October 2026

The community has raised concerns regarding an increase in distressing and alarm behaviour from younger demographics within the Winterton community, not limited to causing criminal damage in public areas, harassing vulnerable people and committing offences towards retail staff and shops. We are currently engaging in targeted patrols of hotspot areas, disrupting the involved groups and robustly dealing with offences. As we reach the peak summer period, we will be increasing these patrols and working on methods of diversion to provide suitable activities for young people to engage in.

Members of public are able to report these anonymously via CrimeStoppers, if they wish, or you can undertake our HumberTalking survey.

Stopping dangerous and nuisance use of motorcycles and illegal electric bikes - Operation Yellowfin

Issued 27 July 2026

Our priorities in order to effectively tackle this growing issue is a threefold approach:
- Use the community's eyes and ears; We aim to foster a gold standard in reporting of information and incidents from the public, as their valuable information is key. We cannot fight this issue without confident public interaction.
- Identify the sources; Who are the riders, where are they coming from, where are they going and what are they doing?
- Take action; Prosecute offenders, seize vehicles and remove the danger from the community.
