POLICE were today seeking more people responsible for attacks on North East Lincolnshire residents.

Only last week, 72-year-old Weelsby Street resident Eddie Hindle was brutally attacked just yards from his back door, and on Saturday, a man appeared in court accused of robbing and viciously battering 69-year-ood Patricia Swales with a metal bar at her home in Revesby Avenue, Grimsby.

And now police have revealed that they are also seeking witnesses to another THREE attacks.

ATTACK ONE:

Who? An attack on four men

Where? Osborne Street, Cleethorpes

When? 2.10am on Sunday, July 11.

ATTACK TWO:

Who? A 75-year-old man

Where? Stanley Street, Grimsby

When? Between 8.45pm and 9.50pm on Sunday

ATTACK THREE:

Who? A 40-year-man

Where? Cleethorpe Road, Grimsby

When? 11pm on Sunday.

Read full details of each attack, plus suspect descriptions in today's Grimsby Telegraph.

Can you help?

Anyone with information about any of the incidents is asked to call 0845 60 60 222.

    “off-topic but last year a gang of yoovs were regularly breaking in the empty house next door to me, using it as a drugs den. i called the old bill, reported it, they said has a crime been committed? nobody came. few days later i saw the little B's and warned them off myself. 3 hours later i got my window put in by a breezeblock and my bike nicked. called the old bill, 2am, and told them what had happened, even told them they were still next door and available for immediate arrest. nobody came. at 5pm the next day, they were still hanging round as a 22 yr old cute blonde community support officer came to rapidly respond to my complaint. i told and showed her exactly who the kids were, she said 'ok ill have a word with them'. i watched as she approched them gingerly, they all laughed at her, told her to 'F-off' and rode away on their push bikes. she kind of shrugged her shoulders at me. i closed my curtains. it's totally up to you citizenry of grimsby, totally up to you at the end of the day.”

    “Over here by now those scrotes would have been shot either by a law abiding member of the public or the cops.
    Or both.
    Either way a few of those results and the morons stop attacking people. Not so brave when they might end up on the wrong end of a bullet.”

    “So are you all in full support of the police force then? It seems to me we are all too quick to make negative comments but not as quick to have and show some pride and respect to OUR town. Pay some attention to what is going on around us and not to be afraid to speak out when we see something WRONG!!!”

    “The police are already well aware of who did the attack on the 72yr old man, and have the names of the 2 big brave grimsby bad boys; they know where at least one of them (the tall one with the fresh new haircut) is hiding and STILL have not got them . . . what are they asking for now do they expect us to go and actually arrest them aswell?”

    “The picture looks a bit iffy, i think they've super imposed that copper onto the background as you never see them in real life.”

    “Got to agree Andy, the only thing rare about these attacks is when something real will actually get done to reduce them and get the scum that do this off the streets for good.”
