Humberside Police targeting foreign criminals

For one week, Humberside Police will keep the public updated on its focused attention on catching travelling foreign criminals who avoid detection and move around the UK to commit crime.

Working along with neighbouring police forces, Immigration Enforcement, TISPOL, Gangmasters Licensing Authority, ACRO Criminal Records Office and other agencies, Humberside Police officers will be informing the public on its continued effort to prevent possible foreign gangs thought to be involved in shoplifting, fraud, metal theft, theft from vehicles and child sex exploitation, committing crime in our area.

Sergeant Jez Kelly, from Humberside’s Roads Policing department said: “Operation Trivium is now in its fourth period; it is notoriously difficult to tackle travelling criminals without the help from our partner agencies who will assist in piecing together a national picture on travelling criminals to prevent worker exploitation, protect vulnerable people and tackle unlicensed and criminal activity.
