GRIMSBY Telegraph readers have been praised for putting suspects In the Frame.
Nearly half of those captured in CCTV footage and caught in the act in a series of thefts, assaults and burglaries have been identified after their pictures appeared in the paper and online at www.thisisgrimsby.co.uk.
We published a rogues' gallery of 23 suspected criminals Humberside Police needed to identify in relation to offences carried out in North East Lincolnshire.
And, within hours of the feature appearing, Humberside Police and Crimestoppers were inundated with calls from people keen to supply them with the names for 10 of those pictured.
However, your work is not done yet.
Humberside Police's Divisional Intelligence Bureau officer, Detective Constable Christian Tomlinson, said: "We've now been able to potentially detect 10 of the 23 offences for which we made an appeal.
"This yet again demonstrates the successful partnership we have with the Telegraph and its readers.
"We hope to be able to run similar campaigns periodically to seek the assistance of the public to help make North East Lincolnshire a better, safer place to live and work.
"It will also make offenders think twice before they think about committing crimes, knowing that CCTV is ever-present, and there's every likelihood that they will be caught."
Those offenders who remain at large include:
A man who committed a robbery in Railway Street, Grimsby, in December last year.
A thief who stole a wallet from the Co-op in Coniston Avenue, Grimsby on Christmas Eve.
The offender responsible for a theft and assault in Penny's Store, Grimsby Road, Cleethorpes, in January. Can you help bring them to justice?
Editor of The Grimsby Telegraph, Michelle Lalor said: "The Grimsby Telegraph actively supports any group or initiative that aims to make North East Lincolnshire a safer place in which to live and work.
"We therefore welcome the opportunity to work with Humberside Police and look forward to working with its officers in the future."
Keep reading your Grimsby Telegraph for the results of court appearances by those identified In The Frame.
