Dear Resident,

Welcome to the April edition of your neighbourhood policing newsletter.

April has been a quieter month for us in terms of proactive activity with the Easter break and many officers taking time off to spend with their families.

However, we’ve got out as much as we can, addressing your concerns.

We’ve been carrying out anti-social behaviour patrols in as many villages as we can while our PCSOs have held a number of coffee with a cop events including in Soham and Littleport.

Our Rural Crime Action Team have shared news on the good work they’ve been doing over the past year including recovering just under one million pounds worth of suspected stolen property. Read more about the work of the team on our website.

Kind Regards,

Sergeant Mat Lupton-Pike

East Cambridgeshire Neighbourhood Policing Team

Current priorities for your local Neighbourhood Policing Team

·       Anti-social behaviour

·       Anti-social driving

·       Drug misuse
