Rejuvenated by new volunteers and proactive initiatives, Cambridgeshire Crimestoppers has posted some impressive performance figures for the month of April.
48 separate pieces of actionable intelligence were passed to police on a range of criminal offences including sexual crime and drug distribution. During the month Crimestoppers intelligence led to the conviction of 12 offenders and the detection of 16 offences. It was Crimestoppers intelligence which assisted in the conviction of a car thief who led police on a dangerous car chase out of Peterborough before crashing through the level crossing barriers at Whittlesey moments before an approaching train. A call to Crimestoppers also led directly to the arrest of an offender facing a number of serious charges who had skipped bail and was planning to leave the country.
Crimestoppers has also been proactive in offering a £5,000 reward for the conviction of a sex attacker in Cambridge and publishing photos of wanted individuals on its Most Wanted website.
Crimestoppers is an independent charity which allows members of the public to inform police of criminal activity with total anonymity. They can be contacted anytime on 0800 555 111 or via their website http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org/
