NEIGHBOURHOOD UPDATE VIA E-COPS
A few weeks ago a local supermarket was subject to an armed robbery, this clearly was a serious incident that would have had a serious impact on the staff who work there. The offender was a local youth who stole and made off with a substantial amount of cash. Local Police officers worked with CID and the supermarket owners and the male was quickly identified. He was then arrested for armed robbery, he was dealt with in custody where he was charged. He was subsequently remanded in custody by the court and will be sentenced later this year. Once he has been sentenced we will update you on the courts result and the length of the sentence.
The male arrested for this offence is an individual who has in recent years been in the involved in a considerable amount of the anti social behaviour in the Stanground area. With this male no longer on the streets we expect less ASB in your area.
Anti social behaviour has continued to be reported in small numbers and we have again seen a significant drop of poor behaviour compared to previous years. We are however concerned that we have had a few reports of stone throwing near the community centre. It has been recorded that youths have been throwing stones at vehicles using the Whittlesey Road. Local officers patrol this area daily in a bid to catch offenders in this act.
Stone throwing sadly also appears to be on the increase with young people at Stanground College at closing time. A small number of incidents reported stones being thrown in the vicinity of the underpass near the school. These young people target other young people and teachers when leaving the school.
Once again this behaviour is completely unacceptable and a zero tolerance of this behaviour will be taken by local officers. Police will deal with those responsible robustly. Parents are asked to make this point very clear to their children even if they are not involved.
Over this last weekend we have had a couple of shed burglaries in the local area. This is a reminder to lock your shed to ensure that we don't make it easy for these criminals. Use solar powered security lights if you can as criminals hate being seen. Some small inexpensive changes could be the difference. If you need any advice then please stop your local officers for a chat.
