Roads policing officers crack down on anti social behaviour

Operation Coastline is an initiative aimed to target antisocial behaviour and criminality in coastal areas and market towns across Humberside, whilst this operation involves many teams all around the force, today we are shining a light on the hard work by our Roads Policing Unit.

Over the weekend officers from our Roads Policing team worked around the clock conducting intensified patrols in coastal areas, alongside roadside checks and proactively stopping vehicles linked to antisocial use of motor vehicles.

Neighbourhood Police Inspector Pete Musgrave said “We have seen an increase in reports of antisocial use of the roads and understand that this is a pressing issue for the community.

“To tackle this issue our roads policing team have been out taking positive action and engaging with drivers, they have already seen promising results that are making a real difference to our local communities”

In just 48 hours Roads Policing officers issued 18 notices of intended prosecution for driving without due care and attention, completed six traffic offence reports and handed out four Section 59 warnings for antisocial vehicle use.

This is just one of the many preplanned operations that our Roads Policing Unit participate in in a bid to keep the public safer on the roads of East Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.
