Skegness is a big favourite for holidaymakers but caravanners in the area have recently been blighted by a spate of crimes.
Inspector Andy Morrice, community policing inspector for Skegness, has now set up a meeting with major representatives to discuss what measures should be taken to tackle the problem, Skegness Standard reports.
The meeting, due to take place on 12 November, will bring together the crime prevention and forensic team, the coastal police force, key business owners and caravan park owners in the area.
Inspector Morrice is hoping to establish a caravan watch scheme which will be run by the police to prevent the risk of further criminal activity.
“I am looking to discuss caravan crime, the effects of it and the methods used to break into caravans, what sort of things get stolen and what we can do to prevent this,” the community policing inspector told the news provider.
