128 miles of rural patrols across Peterborough and Fenland 🚜✅

During these patrols we visited multiple farms to check for anything or anyone of a suspicious nature. We also took the time to talk to those we saw who were very appreciative of our ongoing efforts to tackle rural crime. 👍

We also took note of some fly tipping and have reported it to the appropriate councils.

In the afternoon, we received reports of suspected hare coursing in Parson Drove, where a man had been seen with dogs chasing wildlife. Officers attended but the individual had already made off.

Last year, around 1.4 million people in England and Wales experienced stalking – including cyberstalking, where technology is used to monitor, harass, control, or intimidate.
No one should suffer in silence.

It was great to stop and talk to the team at the ‘Health Outreach Bus’ parked in Long Causeway at the weekend. 🚑

If you go out in Peterborough city centre on a Friday or Saturday nights up until the new year, you may see the team which consists of medical professionals and a street pastor, to help those who are out and about.

They will be able to assist with minor injuries, people who are intoxicated, and those feeling generally unwell. 🧑‍⚕️

We will be sure to check in with them on patrols when we can. 👍

Watch the moment a drunk BMW driver wrecked his car, with his children in the back.

Shahzad Nawaz, 47, crashed in Park Road at about 7pm on 16 March.

“Driving while under the influence of drink is irresponsible but to do so with your own children in the car is beyond belief."

How many of you (parents) are already fed up of waking up in the middle of the night thinking Sh…… ‘Sugar I forgot the Elf’, then cursing yourself for ever agreeing to it? 🙃

As we continue these fun and festive weeks before Christmas, our gift to you is this image 🙌 Feel free to use it and show your little ones that no Elf is immune from prosecution and there are consequences to their behaviour. Give yourself the night off and let your Elf spend the night in custody.

Hang in there Cambridgeshire, we can do it again this year 😂 🎄

Two of our PCSOs visited the Squirrel and Beaver units in Bretton to talk to them about policing and what we do to help the local community. 👮

Our visits allowed the children to sign off some of their badge work:

➡️Squirrels have been working towards their Local Superhero activity badge
➡️Beavers have been working towards their My World challenge badge

And we had to end the visit with showing them our blue lights and sirens 🚨🚔

Visits such as these are a big part of neighbourhood policing as they're a great opportunity to engage with our community.

If you have a group or an event you would like us to visit, then find your local team and get in contact here 👉 https://orlo.uk/wdK1k

As another week is coming to an end, lets take a look back at what some of our neighbourhood officers have been up to on dedicated patrols to tackle anti-social behaviour:

👮Issued a Traffic Offence Report (TOR) and a section 59 warning to a driver for driving without due care and attention after they excessively accelerated and caused their vehicle to wheelspin in the city centre

👮Dispersed a group of teenagers who were reported to us for causing a nuisance in the bus station and Queensgate car park

👮Issued three tickets to cars parked obstructively in Lincoln Road – including one that had stopped the flow of traffic by blocking the Stagecoach bus

👮Attended reports that a car had been dumped on double yellow lines along the junction of Harris Street with Lincoln Road and was obscuring the junction. We were able to locate the registered owner and give some advice about the removal of the car.

This is the face of pa******le Pramod Dhakal, who r**ed and sexually abused eight victims. His horrific crimes continued for 19 years, and only came to light in November 2023 when one of the victims confided in her family. This then resulted in further victims coming forward.

Some of the victims were reluctant to report the sexual abuse to police because they feared they wouldn’t be believed. Dhakal has now been jailed for 25 years, with an extended eight years on licence, and given a restraining order preventing him from contacting his victims for life.

DC Phillipa Mallett, who investigated, said: “This case highlights that no matter when the abuse happened, or when you feel comfortable to share your story with the police, we take reports of this nature extremely seriously. I hope this outcome brings closure to the survivors of Dhakal’s abuse. I commend them on their bravery for coming forward and potentially stopping further children being exploited.

"Child abuse comes in many different forms and can affect anyone. If you notice something that doesn’t feel right, or think a child might be at risk, I encourage you to speak up. Sharing any concerns, no matter how small, can make all the difference.”

Anyone who is concerned someone may have been convicted of a sexual offence, and could be posing a risk to a child, can apply for disclosure information through Sarah’s Law. You can find out more information on our website: https://orlo.uk/Sarahs-Law_vNCrl

From speed checks to tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB), it has been a busy few weeks for our northern neighbourhood team! 👮

Between responding to your calls for service and attending community events, they have:

🚗 Joined council parking enforcement officers on parking patrols and issued numerous tickets to vehicles causing an obstruction outside 14 schools across the sector as part of their quarterly priority
🚫 Worked with partners at The Cresset and YMCA in Bretton to crack down on ASB in the centre, and have handed banning orders to those causing the issues
🏥 Liaised with our colleagues at the hospital after they made us aware of ASB concerns, and we are currently looking to identify those involved
🚘 Carried out speed checks in the rural areas of Peterborough, issuing words of advice to those marginally over the speed limit
🗑️ Reported fly tipping to the council to be cleared
