Osgoldcross — Neighbourhood Policing Team

Op Circumference - We are continuing our efforts to tackle cross-border criminality, with a particular focus on two-in-one vehicle thefts and residential burglaries in the local villages surrounding our command area. If you have any information or notice suspicious activity, please report it to us via [101], online, or anonymously through Crime Stoppers. Your support is vital in helping us keep our communities safe.

Operation Circumference is focused on tackling cross-border criminals entering our district to steal vehicles and commit burglary offences. We’ve secured additional specialist support at Force level, enabling us to patrol border areas more effectively and target travelling offenders. This operation is ongoing. Please Remember: Lock doors and windows, even when you’re at home. Keep vehicles secure and remove valuables from sight. Report suspicious activity immediately via 101 or online. Stay alert during darker evenings and look out for your neighbours. Your vigilance and reports make a real difference. Together, we can reduce burglary and keep our communities safe.

Speeding and road safety across rural routes and village corridors.

The Selby Neighbourhood Policing Team will identify the areas of concern and will target key areas with any speeding offences. Active Police Volunteers are authorised to use the speed gun and report any issue to the Police for further investigation. Officers are actively engaging with parents and young people to raise awareness about the law and the dangers associated with e-scooter use. If an e-scooter is seen being used illegally, the rider will be spoken to and educated. Repeat offences may result in the e-scooter being seized. Remember: e-scooters can only be used on private land with the landowner’s permission. They are illegal on public roads and pavements. Please think carefully before buying an e-scooter as a gift. They are not only unlawful to use in public spaces but also pose serious safety risks, especially for children.
