    Missing Ann McCrome

    Ann McCrome who's 74 and from Skidby has dementia has been missing since lunchtime in Hull today.

    She was out shopping with her husband and went missing around noon.

    Police are asking anyone who might know where she is to call the 101 number.

  6. Sir Philip Green: MPs approve stripping BHS former chief of knighthood

    BBC Look North

    Grimsby MP Melanie Onn is among the politicians to have backed the call for former BHS owner Sir Philip Green (pictured below, left) to be stripped of his knighthood.

    The motion is not binding as any final decision would have to be taken by the Honours Forfeiture Committee.

    BHS was sold by Sir Philip last year but then collapsed with the loss of 11,000 jobs and a £571m pension deficit.

    MPs backed the non-binding motion unopposed, meaning no full vote was needed.  

    Sir Philip Green and MP Frank Field

    Frank Field, chairman of the Work and Pensions committee, had begun the debate about the collapse of BHS.

    Mr Field (pictured above, right) said one of the main findings of his committee's report was that "literally nothing happened in BHS or Arcadia without Sir Philip knowing directly".

  7. Spike in robberies in Humberside force area

    Reporter BBC Radio Humberside

    The latest crime figures have been released for the Humberside Police force area  - and there have been big increases recorded in some offences. 

    The Office for National Statistics says the biggest jump has been the number of robberies recorded in the 12 months to June - an increase of 31%. 

    Assistant Chief Constable Andy McDyer says the force is working to tackle this:

    Police officers
    Quote Message: There has been an increase in robberies locally which is up because of a spike in offences between September 2015 and February of this year. We have put a lot of effort into tackling this... robbery numbers are now falling."

    The figures also show the number of sexual offences recorded increasing by 15% with reports of violent crime showing a 24% rise.

    Overall crime in our area has risen by 8%. 

    Nationally violent crime increased 24% year-on-year, however much of the rise is because of changes in the way offences are recorded and categorised.

    A Hull man who smuggled more than a tonne of illicit tobacco to the UK from Spain in suitcases has been jailed. 

    David Glenn Sinclair (pictured) who is 52, was only found out after workers at a delivery firm depot became suspicious of packages being sent to his home in Wawne Lodge. 

    HM Revenue and Customs says the find is worth more than £150,000 in unpaid duty. 

    He's been sentenced to two years in prison.

  12. Mayor scheme for 'Greater Lincolnshire' derailed

    Sarah Sanderson

    Political Reporter East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire

    Lincolnshire County Council has voted against devolution and a directly elected mayor for Greater Lincolnshire. 

    Last night North East Lincolnshire Council agreed to be part of a Greater Lincolnshire Authority. 

    At the end of last month North Lincolnshire Council also voted in favour of the devolution plans.

    Today's decision by Lincolnshire County Council now means devolution is unlikely to go ahead as the scheme needs the agreement of all 10 local authorities who would be involved.

  13. Vacancy for chief constable role to be re-advertised

    BBC Lincolnshire Live

    Lincolnshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Marc Jones says he's going to re-advertise the vacancy for the role of chief constable after only two people came forward to replace the county's retiring chief Neil Rhodes (below right).

    In a statement on his website, Mr Jones (below left), says the two candidates who did come forward weren't suitable and therefore weren't interviewed.

    Jones and Rhodes

    Mr Jones had announced plans to advertise internationally for the job. One of the candidates who was rejected was from overseas.

    The commissioner said: “I am determined to find the best possible candidate for Lincolnshire.” 

    The new advert will be posted on 24 October.

    Researchers say it is often mistaken for the Clifton Suspension Bridge or the Golden Gate Bridge in America. 

    Phil Reed from the museum says even some people in Yorkshire couldn't recognise it.

    Reporter BBC Radio Humberside

    Robbery offences recorded by Humberside Police during the 12 months ending in June show an increase of more than 30% with recorded sexual offences up by 15%.  

    The latest crime figures across England and Wales suggest that a long-term decline in violence has come to an end. 

    Offences recorded by police for the year to the end of June show a rise in the number of murders and crimes involving knives and guns.
