Good Afternoon, Warboys and Bury District Members –

Here is our weekly summary of offences and incidents affecting your community, reported to police during the period 10th to 16th February:

B1040 Warboys / Bury – Police were called to the B1040 between Warboys and Bury on Friday morning, 12th February, where horses and foals had escaped from a field and were wandering along the road. One foal in particular was very distressed and endangering itself and passing traffic. With help from members of the public, the horses were eventually rounded up and returned to their field, which was made secure. However, the condition of some of the horses caused concern, and steps were taken to safeguard their welfare. (Ref CC-12022021-0114)

High Street, Warboys – A police patrol stopped a suspicious car entering a car-park on Warboys High Street late on Friday evening, 12th February, following up on a report of young people gathering at the location, potentially in breach of Covid-19 regulations. A search of the vehicle revealed an assortment of Class B drugs, which were seized for analysis. Investigations are continuing. (Ref 35/8684/21)

An Item of Local News:

A Warboys man was sentenced to 21 years in jail at Peterborough Crown Court on Friday 12th February, after being found guilty of multiple counts of rape and sexual assault against three victims between 2009 and 2018.

And Finally – Police Survey on the Use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) Systems:

Cambridgeshire Police are running a survey to get the public’s views on the use of ANPR systems in the County.

ANPR is used to alert officers to stolen vehicles, vehicles involved in crime, or to help locate missing people. The data they collect can also be used in investigations. You can help shape the future of ANPR by completing the anonymous survey and sharing your views at the following link:
