During this week we have seen a continuation of burglaries in South Cambs as follows:
Papworth Everard – 2 reports in Varrier Jones Drive and Haymans Way.
Caldecote – West Drive
Milton – 2 reports – The Sycamores and Shirley Close
Orchard Park – Topper Street.
Common themes – entry via rear of premises forcing entry by breaking door or windows to unoccupied properties. Tools or items used to break in taken from sheds or gardens. Jewellery, cash, passports ,small items taken.
At one location it is believed that the locking mechanism on patio doors was released by ‘shaking’ the door. Police advise that secondary locking devices should be used when leaving homes.
As always, please remain vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour via the 999 system.

I hope you are well, I thought I would quickly update you all with what myself and colleagues have been up to on the beat this week.
We have been conducting a house to house surgery along Haymans Way in Papworth to gather opinions on residents policing priorities in the village, I would like to thank those of you gave your opinions. As expected the issue on parking in the village was mentioned by several residents which leads me nicely on to my meeting on Wednesday...
This Wednesday a multi-agency meeting was held at Papworth Hospital attended by members of the parish council, representatives from the hospital, myself and the Highways agency. The meeting was held to discuss the responses to the magazine article, published in The Newsletter a few months ago asking for residents opinions on the suggestion of putting parking restrictions in place along Ermine Street South and the roads that spur off it i.e. Church Lane, North Lodge Drive, Elm Way etc. A petition had also been placed around the village by Papworth Trust. As the highways agency pointed out at our initial meeting in September 2011 any placement of parking restrictions in a village should be publicly supported. Several options were discussed and our concerns that this would displace the parking problems to other areas of the village. The final decision will be with the parish council who intend to discuss the options in their next meeting to be held on 8th February, I hope to be able to give you a better idea of the course of action following the meeting.
At about 03.30am on Thursday 19th January we were notified of a theft in progress of Nitrous Oxide cylinders at Papworth Hospital. Unfortunately the offenders were alerted that they had been seen and fled the scene before the 11 separate police units that were on their way could get there. The area was flooded with resources in response within minutes of the initial call, but there was no trace of the offenders. We are monitoring these thefts, the crime is now being investigated and I hope to be able to update you shortly with the results.
On Thursday (19/01) I conducted speed checks in Elsworth Road Connington and am pleased to report that during a half-hour check no vehicles were found to be travelling above 30mph.
Drifting and anti-social use of vehicles on the Papworth bypass has been highlighted as a priority and will be responded to accordingly, if you experience this please do call it in to raise an incident on the non emergency number 101 at the time.
This week two crimes have been recorded, one theft of oil from a business premises in Elsworth and the above mentioned gas cylinders from Papworth Hospital.
If you wish to report any other crime, suspicious behaviour or activity please ring our non-emergency number 101. If you believe that a crime is in progress please ring 999. I also welcome anyone to contact me on

Well its all change here for the police teams we are now arranged as follows... (I am now a SNO but STILL also a PCSO).
SNO: Safer neighbourhoods officers (this is everyone including reactive Police Officers, detectives, PCSO's etc)
SNT: Safer neighbourhood Teams (Histon/ Sawston/ Cambourne)
I will continue to patrol Post Offices along with PCSO and Police Officer colleagues in all beat areas, to provide reassurance and a visible deterrent to crime.
I will continue to deal with vehicles not displaying road tax when on the highway but please remember you can report it directly to DVLA too. Have a look at their web site if you have internet access. Here's how to report:
Report the vehicle online
Use the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s (DVLA) online service.
By post
Send a letter to:
The Enforcement Section, E89/A2
DVLA
Longview Road
Swansea
SA7 0XZ
Tel, 0300 790 6802.
We have had two burglaries; one storage building burglary in Knapwell and a business burglary in Elsworth. Both occurred on the same evening/night of 10th - 11th January.
I have been out and about on foot patrol regularly and it has been lovely to chat with those of you who I have bumped in to.
Unfortunately I have to report one incident of mindless vandalism whereby a firework has been set off inside a leaflet dispenser on the Nature Reserve in Fen Drayton. This is thought to have happened on 5th or 6th January – did you notice any anti-social behaviour going on at this time on the Nature Reserve?
We did have one incident on the evening of 7th January when we received a report of four men in a van visiting Fen Drayton church late at night walking in and out of the graveyard. We checked this out and thankfully it was legitimate contractors working, however it is good to see that everyone is keeping their eyes peeled and reporting suspicious activity as it is best to be safe than sorry.
I am still monitoring reports of drifting and anti-social use of vehicles on the Papworth bypass which falls mostly on Sunday evenings - please keep calling this in if you experience problems. I have also heard news that young people are gathering in the football Pavilion in Fen Drayton and causing criminal damage to parts of it. I have been on shift this weekend and will maintain my patrols to check this out.
With the news that the Youth Club is to finish in Papworth in April I will continue to work alongside the locality team up until the point of closure and hopefully the hard work that they have invested until now will remain with the children to use their time in a productive, fun and safe way.
I am attending the mulit-agency meeting next week with regards to parking in Papworth and the Hospital, I hope to update you next week with news of how we get on.
