Members of a Scunthorpe gang who would raid illegal cannabis grows armed with baseball bats and then distribute the drugs themselves have been jailed. Humberside Police said sometimes the “violent criminals” would disguise themselves as police officers while carrying out the raids on rival groups’ drug farms. But they were caught out when members of the public reported people stealing vehicles and committing burglaries across Grimsby and Scunthorpe. When one of the gang members was detained for driving on false registration plates, police took his phone and discovered the crimes had been documented on Snapchat. READ MORE: Eight men pleaded guilty to offences involving the supply of drugs when they appeared at Hull Crown Court last week. Between them, they made an estimated £1,000,000 over a four-month period. Divisional Commander Chief Superintendent Paul French said: “This was an extremely complex investigation into an organised crime group who went to great lengths to distribute drugs and commit crime, bringing misery to our communities. Charlie Rhodes, Michael Lowther, and Joel Haines (Image: Humberside Police) “By removing this dangerous gang from our community, we have stopped a significant amount of drugs finding their way onto the streets of Scunthorpe, along with the associated crime and antisocial behaviour that goes with this kind of offending. “I would like to thank the investigations team for their dedication and hard work in building a strong case against these brutal individuals. The investigation saw detectives spending hundreds of hours trawling through a vast amount of mobile phone data, along with forensic and tactical enforcements, in order to put forward a thorough prosecution case. Josh Cooling and Jamie Hemsworth (Image: Humberside Police) “The messages, videos and audio notes recovered provided significant evidence that the gang were involved in the taxing of cannabis grows and allowed us to bring these violent criminals to justice.” Seven of the gang were sentenced on Thursday, May 9, with the eighth being sentenced on Friday, May 10: Bert Keeton, 22, of Grange Lane South, Scunthorpe entered a not guilty plea and a trial commenced on Thursday 2 May.

Scunthorpe men Bert Keeton, 22, Tyler Gallagher, 22, and Liam Pollock, 22, were jailed (Image: Humberside Police) An investigation was launched in January 2023 when Humberside Police received reports of burglaries and vehicle theft. A team of experienced detectives identified the pattern formed part of an organised crime group who were involved in the supply of drugs. On February 6, 2023, officers spotted a vehicle parked on Laceby Road in Grimsby which had made off from officers earlier in the evening and was being driven on false registration plates. Following a short pursuit, the occupants of the vehicle were detained, one of them being Gallagher who was subsequently arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary. Gallagher was released from custody on bail whilst officers continued with their investigation. After seizing his mobile phone, detectives uncovered an organised crime group who had documented their extensive serious and organised criminality through Snapchat. Through the intelligence gathered, including messages, videos, images, and audio notes, it showed that the group were involved in targeting cannabis grows which had been set up by other organised crime groups. As part of this, the group would break into the premises armed with baseball bats, whilst making threats and assaulting the occupants. It was also identified that the gang used a thermal imaging device to locate heat sources within properties which indicated that the property was potentially being used to cultivate cannabis. Following these enquiries, it was discovered that the organised crime group had divided Scunthorpe into three areas: Town, Ashby and Westcliff. A dedicated drug line was used to service each area and each drug line was under the control of each of the principal members. The eight men were charged in connection with the offences on May 23.

Three new town houses have been approved in Barton-upon-Humber, on land next to a former bank site. Permission was previously given six years ago for the former HSBC’s Bank House in Holydyke to be changed on the ground floor to two apartments, and for three town houses at the site too. The new permission keeps Bank House for commercial use. The three homes will be erected on adjacent land to the west. Read on below for some of the latest planning decisions in North Lincolnshire. Read More: Barton town houses The town houses will all have three bedrooms, each. The proposals include a new access off Holydyke for five off-street parking spaces. Bank House extensions to the side and rear will be demolished. Bank House Developments Ltd was the applicant. Barton Civic Society objected to the proposal, contending it would harm the town’s Conservation Area. “The society feel that the three-storey block of three houses are an overdevelopment of the land available and thus detract from Bank House,” the Civic Society commented. It favour a smaller set of family homes. Barton Town Council also agreed with its concerns, and suggested there was not sufficient parking. There is on-street parking, as well as the five off-street spaces planned. “It’s another site that really need something definitely doing to it, and it would only enhance the area, I think,” said Cllr Carol Ross. Permission was unanimously approved. Winterton home outside boundary A two-storey, four bedroom home has been approved in Winterton, despite being outside the development boundary. Agent Mr Fowler, representing JD Associates (DC) Ltd, explained the plot at 151 Northlands Road is infill. Its existing use is as garden. Northlands Road, Winterton, where a new home will be built (Image: Google Streetview) “Whilst the site is outside the development boundary, it is immediately adjacent to it.” It will have two parking spaces, and a turning space would also be created. “Again, I have no problem with this at all, and I’m happy to go with officer’s recommendation,” said Cllr John Davison. Cllr Mick Grant did note it was outside the development boundary and if there was not a property already there, what the stance might be. “I’m just being the devil’s advocate.” Nevertheless, it was unanimously approved. Epworth beacon Previously reported on by Grimsby Live, Epworth Town Council had sought permission for a new lighting beacon. It will be located near disused, Grade II-listed Maw’s Mill. Planning officers have approved it under delegated decision powers. Its first use is due next month, on June 6, to mark the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord, better known as D-Day. It will be used subsequently for other community events that warrant beacon fire lighting. Epworth’s beacon made in 1988, in time to mark the 400th anniversary of the Spanish Armada (Image: Chris Morgan, Geograph (CC BY-SA 2.0 DEED)) Epworth has had a beacon before. One was made by a well-known agricultural local firm, Harris of Epworth, in time for the 400th anniversary of the Spanish Armada in 1988. The new beacon will incorporate some of the history of the old, a document states, but it will also have a retractable metal pole. This will make its lighting easier. Maw’s Mill is a corn mill built about 200 years ago that was decommissioned in 1915. The new 6m tall beacon will be set a distance away from the mill to have minimal impact on it. An application document contended “it will actually add to the heritage of the site itself” and will be an extra visitor attraction.

A jealous lover drank two bottles of vodka and took a Rambo knife to his ex-partner’s home threatening to kill her new lover. He felt betrayed when he found out the new lover was a so-called friend of his. Jonathon Walls, 39, of Scunthorpe wept in the dock as the evidence was described at Grimsby Crown Court. Prosecuting, Jemima Stephenson told how Walls was arrested after a disturbance outside the home in Scunthorpe at 4am on March 1. He was shouting threats to kill and made a threat to petrol bomb the home of the new lover’s mother. Walls admitted making a threat to kill and possession of a knife. READ MORE: The court heard the relationship between Walls and his ex-partner broke down at the end of August last year. Soon after a new relationship was started by his ex-partner, Walls became jealous. He messaged his former friend telling him he was coming round to the house with a knife. For Walls, Ian Durant said his client had moved on from the incident. He said he works as a concrete mixer for electricity sub-stations and nuclear power plants. He said his client deeply regrets his actions. “Fortunately, no one was hurt,” he said. Sentencing Walls, Judge Richard Woolfall said the start of a new relationship by his ex-partner with his friend had made him “very unhappy” and feeling “betrayed.” He said the defendant was in no fit state to go anywhere after consuming two bottles of vodka. “That is a recipe for things going out of control. You made threats that you were going to kill him and were stabbing at the wall with the knife. “It was a Rambo knife. You punched the window of a passing car, such was your rage,” told the judge. He said: “If you hold on to anger, it can eat away at you. You probably have little recollection of that night. But I shudder to think what would have happened had you got into the house.” He jailed Walls for 18 months. Original artice: https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/all-about/scunthorpe

It’s a photographer’s dream. Very rarely does the opportunity present itself that did last night. Conditions were perfect for viewing the elusive and stunning Northern Lights over the UK and right here in Northern Lincolnshire they were absolutely spectacular. If you looked up to the skies between 11pm and midnight on Friday, you were in for a real treat. Also known as the aurora borealis, they became visible after one of the strongest geomagnetic storms for years hit Earth, with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issuing a rare solar storm warning. Grimsby photographer Jon Corken and Grimsby Live’s own Donna Clifford made sure they captured what could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Jon’s were taken over Grimsby and Donna’s in the Goxhill area. Original artice: https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/all-about/scunthorpe

A senior government minister has visited British Steel as talks between the company and government on a support package continue. Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch was shown on Thursday around British Steel rail manufacturing facilities in Scunthorpe. It is the UK’s only manufacturer of rail, and the overwhelming majority of Britain’s rail tracks are made in Scunthorpe. The company is seeking further government support for its £1.25bn decarbonisation plans and its president said it is committed to “reaching an agreement quickly”. Read More: It gained planning permission last month to build an electric arc furnace (EAF) at its Scunthorpe site. Together with an EAF in Teesside, this will replace Scunthorpe’s coke blast furnaces. During the planning meeting that decided on the Scunthorpe EAF, a British Steel representative admitted fewer jobs will be required. British Steel has started preliminary talks with trade unions about electrification and promised to support employees affected by its decarbonisation plans. British Steel President and CEO Xijun Cao said: “We were delighted to welcome the Secretary of State to British Steel and to reiterate the vital importance of safeguarding the future of steelmaking in this country. Our world-class rails help transport people and goods throughout the UK, forming a critical part of Britain’s infrastructure. “We will shortly open a new £10-million rail storage facility at our Scunthorpe site, and we’re unique in delivering 216-metre lengths of rail for installation in Britain’s railways – a service that reduces delays for rail users caused by maintenance.” The company recently secured a lucrative contract to supply rail to Egypt. British Steel’s president added it is the UK’s only manufacturer of constructional steel, and a lead supplier of wire rod, special profiles and semi-finished steel. He said these products keep Britain on the go. “It is therefore imperative that if Britain wants to secure its sovereign steelmaking capability, the UK Government supports our plans to transform into a clean, green and sustainable business.” British Steel cite detailed studies that show electrification would allow it to continue making the products its customers require.

Significant preparation works, including environmental and technical studies, and equipment selection, are already underway so the EAF proposals can be delivered at the earliest opportunity, while discussion with the government also continue. Xijun Cao added: “We are confident our proposals, which are subject to appropriate support from the UK Government including the adoption of the correct policies and frameworks, will help secure the low embedded carbon steelmaking the UK requires now and for decades to come. “We are committed to working with the UK Government and need to reach an agreement quickly so we can achieve our ambitious goals, secure thousands of jobs and keep making the steel Britain needs for generations to come.” So far, the UK government has offered £300m of support.

More than 120 Scunthorpe steel jobs are at risk as a plant faces closure. Liberty Steel has begun a consultation process to mothball its Scunthorpe Liberty Merchant Bar (LMB) plant. It comes after a thorough review of strategic options, the company has stated. Challenging external conditions, including the lack of local feedstock supply, has also affected the plant’s viability. Since the closure of coke ovens on the same site, LMB’s reheat surfaces have lost gas supply. Read More: The consultation process begins today, with union representatives and approximately 127 employees associated with the plant to be part of the process. It will last a minimum of 45 days, and Liberty Steel have undertaken to make every effort to reach a consensus with the workforce. Liberty Steel’s chief transformation officer, Jeffrey Kabel, said: “Over the last two years Liberty has restructured and refocused its UK operations so they can operate viably and we have explored every option to achieve the same at Liberty Merchant Bar. A range of external factors have prevented this, including the high energy costs all UK steel producers face, and the loss of third party gas supply to our furnaces. “As a result, we have opened a consultation on the proposed mothballing of the plant. During the process we will continue to support colleagues, as we have done throughout the past two years, and will make every effort to retain critical skills and redeploy staff where possible.” Its parent company, GFG Alliance has for two years explored all possible ways to establish a sustainable business at the Scunthorpe plant. Despite significant financial support and maintenance of the plant’s facilities, LMB’s commoditised products face stiff competition from abroad with lower energy costs and less stringent environmental standards, Liberty Steel has said.

The Liberty Steel update comes a week after British Steel gained planning approval for an electric arc furnace (EAF) at Scunthorpe, to replace its coke blast furnaces. A British Steel representative told councillors the the EAF’s shorter process will inevitably require fewer jobs. Original artice: https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/all-about/scunthorpe

A proposed ten-bed house in multiple occupation (HMO) in Scunthorpe has been refused after residents claimed it could cause “uproar and distress to the community”. A two-storey property in Jackson Road was proposed to be converted into an HMO, with an extension to the west. As well as ten bedrooms, it would have had two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a dining area, to share between its tenants. The home used to be split between a grocery store and a flat, but has been vacant for some time. Three dozen letters of objection were made to the proposal with fears of crime and anti-social behaviour, parking issues and littering predominant. Read More: North Lincolnshire Council‘s planning committee decided last month to refuse it. It was deemed the proposal would not provide adequate living conditions and communal space for its occupants, would harm the area’s character, and would cause “unacceptable impacts on highway safety” because of insufficient parking. “My concerns boiled down to two reasons really,” said committee member Cllr Max Bell, who confirmed the refusal was unanimous. Noting it may be couples or more than one resident in an HMO room, he said: “In my view, the living facilities there would not have supported a healthy environment for those 10+ residents.” The other reason was that the council’s own statistics for its selective licensing consultation showed there are already a number of below standard houses, particularly HMOs, in the Crosby and Park Ward area. This was also raised by residents and ward councillors. Cllr Bell added he and and a number of other colleagues were not opposed in itself to the change of use from former grocery store to accommodation. “Had they proposed to turn into two or three small flats, I would have viewed it more sympathetically.” The Jackson Road property was built in 1936 and an application document states it is “in a poor condition and would benefit from modernisation and decoration”. The proposal included four car parking spaces and six for bicycles. An application document contended it would provide much needed accommodation in “an area that is much sought after”.

It had three comments of support, drawing attention to its current empty state. “At the moment I look out of my window and all I see is a dumping ground with railings around it at seven foot high,” commented a nearby neighbour, “so it needs something doing with it.” These supportive comments, however, were drowned out by dozens of objectors. Scunthorpe MP Holly Mumby-Croft also submitted a letter of objection to it, read out at the planning meeting. “As a resident with children I fear that this change of use into a 10 bedroom HMO is going to cause distress and uproar to the community,” commented one objector. The proximity to a school, St Lawrence Academy, was also cited by a number of opponents to it. “We already have a high level of crime drug and alcohol misuse in the area so to add a HMO to the area would only increase the problems and place school children and residents at higher risks. I also believe that this would further devalue the properties in the area.” Some comments suggested less concern had the bedroom proposals been more modest. “Ten residents in one building is too many, I am concerned about the amount of litter produced in an area already struggling with littering and lazy residents,” commented another objector.

A Scunthorpe dog rescue charity shop has moved to a “more secure” location following an outpouring of community support after the previous premises faced a devastating burglary in which their donation boxes were stolen. The Jerry Green Dog Rescue shop has moved to a unit within the Foundry Shopping Centre after its former shop on Ravendale Street North was targeted by thieves in the early hours of Monday, December 18 last year. During the break-in, the premises suffered significant damage to the value of hundreds of pounds, and its donation boxes were stolen. READ MORE: At the time, Shelley Wilks, Interim CEO of Jerry Green Dog Rescue, said: “The winter months are always the hardest for a charitable organisation like ours, particularly with the ever-increasing energy bills, so to fall victim to a senseless act of theft and vandalism particularly at this time of year is devastating for us. This also follows us having to cancel our Christmas Market, which was due to take place on December 3, following heavy snow and extreme weather conditions. “This was expected to be one of our largest events of the year and was estimated to raise approximately £10,000. But regardless of these difficult times, we will continue to do what we do best and ensure as many dogs as we can help will have a good life and a safe, loving home.” The damage was estimated to cost hundreds of pounds (Image: Jerry Green Dog Rescue) Following the burglary, local contracting firms offered their services free of charge to help with essential repairs, and members of the public rallied together to donate to the incredibly worthy cause. But to prevent similar incidents from happening in future, the organisation has taken the “difficult but necessary” decision to relocate. Joanne Findlay, Head of Retail at Jerry Green Dog Rescue, said: “The safety and security of our premises are paramount, particularly for the well-being of our staff, volunteers, and the community we serve. “While regrettable to leave our current location, this move is necessary to ensure the continued operation of our charity shops to support the welfare of dogs in need.” The suspects broke in through a wooden vent (Image: Jerry Green Dog Rescue) You can find the new Jerry Green Dog Rescue charity shop at 9 Cole Street, Scunthorpe, DN15 6RA, with the opening date due to be announced in the next two weeks.

A rejig is proposed beside a Bottesford main road to add up to 12 new houses. The owners of 90 Bottesford Road have submitted a planning application to get outline permission to knock down no. 86, and have up to 12 new homes in total. A double garage is also proposed to be installed to no. 90. Although design and home size details would be worked out in a reserved matters application, it is indicated the new homes would be two to three beds. They would also be single or two storey. Read More: Read on below to find out more about this, a proposed 5G mast and a microbrewery in some of the latest planning applications made to North Lincolnshire Council. Bottesford 12 homes While the site layout is to be confirmed, the initial plan is for ten of the 12 homes to be split into five each with a shared drive access. Two single-storey homes and no. 90 would have their own private drives and dropped kerbs. Keystone Architecture state in a document on behalf of the applicants: “The proposed development would offer enhancements to the wider area, including additional support to the adjacent amenities, and creating much needed market affordable housing, in a prime, central location.” Broughton 5G 17.5m mast A 17.5M tall lattice tower is proposed at Phil Grundy Community & Sports Centre off Scawby Road, Broughton. It is to enable 5G coverage in the area. Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructure Ltd is the applicant. It is a joint venture between Telefónica UK Limited and Vodafone. The companies have entered into an agreement to jointly operate and manage a single network grid across the UK. Judging by the documents submitted, Cornerstone has been keen to allay possible 5G health concerns. A number address the health worries head-on, including a government document. This states of these concerns: “These claims are completely unfounded and should not be used as a basis to block or delay 5G rollout.” Phil Grundy Community Sports Centre, Broughton – a 17m tall mast for 5G coverage is proposed (Image: Google Streetview) Meanwhile, an Institute for Engineering and Technology report attached to the application also concludes 5G is just as safe as 4G and 3G. “Small 5G base stations in our towns and cities will allow improved network coverage. They will reduce radio wave exposure to individual smartphone users and improve local 5G capacity for all manner of useful bandwidth hungry applications.” Microbrewery development An existing microbrewery in Sandtoft is seeking a lawful development certificate to alter its factory and storage process. Don Valley Brewery want to create an additional processing area and an all-weather seating area for product sampling. An internal wall would be constructed to create this. The brewery began in 2016 in South Yorkshire and moved to Sandtoft in 2020. It also runs six pubs, including The Brewery Tap in Sandtoft.
