Your monthly round up

Dear Resident,

As we head further into Autumn, catch up on what our policing teams have been up to in the month of September!

Highlights from the last month:

Seized 13 e-scooters and e-bikes in Cambourne, Northstowe, Histon and Impington and Orchard Park as part of our continued crackdown. 

Rural crime officers found 10 stolen vehicles worth more than £300K in a sophisticated chop shop near Madingley. Read more here. 

Arrested a 15-year-old boy for possession of a bladed article and possession with intent to supply class B drugs following patrols near Longstanton. 

More bike marking at Evolution Business Park in Impington. For the first time, it wasn’t just bikes being marked but a unicycle as well! 

Now time for some recent court results! 

Our officers work tirelessly to bring offenders before the courts and ensure justice is served. 

Here’s a few from this past month: 

A drug dealer who hid a stash of class A drugs in a fake coke can has been jailed. Read more here. 

A drink driver who was seen drifting across a road was discovered to be more than three times the limit. He has now been disqualified. More here. 

A registered sex offender flouted a court order by having software on his phone which wiped his internet history. He has now been jailed, read more here.

Tips and tricks: 

Some of the main priorities of our South Cambridgeshire Neighbourhood team is anti-social behaviour, anti-social driving and drug misuse.

We have recently been out responding to your concerns, but here are a few of the signs to look out for that may indicate someone is involved in drug dealing: 

1.Repeatedly going missing from school or home and being found in other areas

2.Having money, new clothes or electronic devices and they can't explain how they paid for them

3.Getting high numbers of texts or phone calls, being secretive about who they're speaking to

4.Decline in school or work performance

5.Significant changes in emotional or physical well-being

If you believe you know someone who is involved in drug dealing, report it on our website and find more advice here. 

Antisocial use of a vehicle, such as street racing, street cruising or off-road use is more than a matter of noise pollution, it can have a wider impact on a neighbourhood or community. 

For more advice head to our website.

This is just some of what we have been up to this month, we are always working to protect the public and being visible and approachable in the community. 

If you would like to share any concerns, why not pop along to one of our community events? 

We regularly host a ‘Coffee with a Cop’ and ‘Police Surgeries’ to understand the issues that are impacting you. For more updates on our next event, head to our website. 

Alternatively, have your say at our next online community meeting on Wednesday 26th November at 7pm. If you are interested in joining us, email ‘South Cambs’ to communitymeeting@cambs.police.uk and you will be sent a Teams invite.

If you can’t make it to chat to us in person, report it online.
