Policing Peterborough

13/11/2025

Our Spree Offender Team have had a busy day!

Here is what they got up to:

🛍️Patrolled the city centre, popping into some of the shops to check in on how they were doing and listening to their concerns.
💊Conducted some patrols along the underpasses and in Eastfield in relation to recent drug dealing concerns
👮Carried out some enquiries for outstanding crimes
⚖️Arrested a prolific offender who was outstanding for numerous shoplifting offences and is currently in custody.

The team was launched in July with the aim of targeting the most prolific offenders.

No two days are ever the same for policing, and that is certainly the case for our officers tackling the city’s repeat offenders.

One of the priorities for our southern neighbourhood team is around drug dealing and associated anti-social behaviour in Woodston, particularly the Grove Street area. 💊

Yesterday, we spent some time patrolling the area, talking to anyone we saw about their concerns.

👮Providing a high-vis presence in these areas can both reassure the community and deter the individuals involved.

You can report any concerns about drug dealing to us by calling 101 or online👉 https://orlo.uk/9nDbb

When reporting to us, please provide as much detail as you can, including:

✔️Descriptions of any individuals or vehicles involved
✔️Specific times and locations that it is happening

One of the priorities for our city centre neighbourhood team is increasing the confidence in reporting retail crime. 👮🛍️

As part of this, we held an engagement event in Queensgate Shopping Centre earlier today in partnership with Peterborough Positive and gave businesses the chance to come and talk to us.

We took this opportunity to talk through what we are looking for when it comes to reporting retail crime and discussed any concerns they had.

Thank you to those who came to talk to us👍

We recently teamed up with partners including Peterborough City Council to seize thousands of pounds worth of illegal goods from shops in the city.

The operation resulted in vapes, ci******es and alcohol worth nearly £280,000 being seized.

Officers also visited barber shops and hand car washes as part of the national operation to combat money laundering, modern slavery and other crimes that can be linked to “cash-rich” businesses.

Today, officers and staff across the force paused for a two minutes’ silence to mark Remembrance Day — honouring the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces community, past and present.

Whether on duty or in our stations, we stood together in reflection and gratitude.
We will remember them. 🌺

Today is the start of ‘Safer Business Action Week’ – a national focus on retail crime across the country. 👮🛍️

This afternoon, we joined the Crime and Safety Liaison Officer from Peterborough Positive on a walkabout in Queensgate to discuss crime reporting with the businesses.

We took the time to emphasise the importance of reporting any shoplifting incidents, regardless of the theft value, and providing us with CCTV footage to aid us in identifying those involved.

It was lovely to speak to everyone and hear their feedback on the work we have been doing to tackle retail crime in Peterborough city centre.

Retail crime, including increasing confidence in reporting, continues to be a priority for our neighbourhood officers. You can read more about the work we have been doing to address this here 👉 https://orlo.uk/OOJlS

Today, officers from across the county joined communities at Remembrance Sunday services to honour the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Representing policing, our officers stood alongside veterans, serving members of the Armed Forces, and the public to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice — and to reflect on the values of duty, service, and courage that unite us all.

Lest we forget.
