What a weekend for our Rural Crime Action Team

Dear Resident,

What a weekend for our Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) 👮 🌾🐾 🚜

The team have been to every corner of the county - visiting gamekeepers, interviewing hare coursers, seizing cars used in crime, recovering stolen property and protecting wildlife 💪🏼

📍 Peterborough - they visited a local gamekeeper near Barnack who has been having issues with anti-social behaviour, and patrolled along the Cambs / Lincs border 🚔

📍 Fenland - they recovered a stolen dumper truck near Thorney Toll following a sighting from a Cambridgeshire Countryside Watch member 👀👏

📍 Huntingdonshire - they completed some farm visits, dealt with a violent man in Yaxley and provide support to an elderly victim of a burglary in St Neots 💙

📍 East Cambridgeshire - they seized a vehicle that had caused a significant amount of damage to crops and progressed the investigation near Prickwillow, and seized another two used in crime in Soham 🚗❌

📍 South Cambridgeshire - they seized five vehicles involved in different hare coursing incidents, including seizing two dogs across Balsham and Childerley. They also recovered a stolen vehicle from a burglary in Rampton 🐕🚓

📍 Cambridge City - they completed patrols along the River Cam following historical reports of attacks on wildlife 🦆🌊

Report non-urgent rural or wildlife crime on our website.

Kind Regards,

Sergeant Tom Nuttall
