April update from the Huntingdon Neighbourhood Team

Alert message sent 29/04/2021 12:28:00

Information sent on behalf of Cambridgeshire Constabulary

Dear Subscriber,

This month we’ve seen the reopening of Huntingdon town centre. Lots of work has gone on behind the scenes with partners to ensure everyone is safe as restrictions ease and gyms, shops, hairdressers and pubs with outdoor areas reopen.

Everyone’s efforts have allowed us to move on to the next step of the Government’s roadmap. However, it still depends on us to keep following current guidance so we can reach the next stage.

We were delighted to receive a visit from Chief Constable Nick Dean last week who recognised the proactive work we’ve been doing tackling organised crime groups, arresting high risk domestic abuse suspects and other high risk offenders.

There is plenty to read about below. Don’t forget you can follow us on Facebook for regular updates from the neighbourhood teams.

We hope you find the below update useful.

Best wishes,
Sergeant Dominic Carminati
Huntingdon Neighbourhood Team

What’s going on
This month we’ve carried out a number of warrants including in Bradshaw Close and Maule Close in Huntingdon, in Sawtry and most recently in Yaxley resulting in a number of arrests.
We’ve recovered thousands of pounds worth of drugs including cocaine and cannabis as well as cash, mobile phones and other drug paraphernalia.

The warrants are often as a result of information received by members of the public and we encourage you to continue reporting suspicious activity around drugs.

By day we’ve been patrolling the town as part of the re-opening, tackling anti-social behaviour in and around the town, carrying out stop searches and seizing knives. By night we’re patrolling the A1123 corridor looking for suspicious vehicles and activity.

Good News
The hare coursing season is coming to an end. You can see some of the results from our Rural Crime Action Team as they continue to crackdown on the illegal blood sport.

Crime prevention and useful information
People are being invited to hand in knives without fear of prosecution this week as part of a national week of action. More here.

We’ve seen an increase in tool thefts and would urge people to remain vigilant and take extra precautions to keep your valuables safe. More information is available here.

Thefts of catalytic converters continue to be an issue across the county. While we’re increasing patrols on the road networks to catch those responsible, we ask you to look out for any suspicious activity and report it to us via our webchat or call 101. Remember if a crime is in progress, call 999.

With restrictions easing and people returning to work, we’d ask everyone to ensure they remember to shut and lock doors and windows to avoid becoming victims of burglary. We’ve lots of prevention advice here.
