The suspect was arrested a short time later on Pyewipe Road, he has been released from custody pending further enquiries.

Detective Superintendent Martin Smalley, who is part of the Operation Galaxy Team, said:
“The remit of Operation Galaxy is to proactively target those responsible for committing crime in our communities, to make the lives of criminals and predators difficult and uncomfortable.
It’s all about listening to you, our communities, across the Humberside Force area and acting on what you tell us is a concern in your neighbourhood.”
