Dear Resident
The summer is always a busy time of year for our policing teams, especially the month of August.
Do you follow our local Facebook pages?
Whether you're looking for the latest news or just want to see what your local officers have been up to — we’ve got you covered.
Our page is open to everyone in the community, and we’d love to see you there!@PolicingHuntingdonshire
Here are some of our highlights over the last month:
Seized motorbikes and mopeds in Yaxley following concerns raised by members of the public about anti-social driving. A chase across a park and through residential gardens in St Ives led to two individuals spending a night in the cells. Watch the footage here.
Joined the Eynesbury Community Day working in partner agencies to engage with residents and listen to their concerns.  | |
Our eagle-eyed PCSO Dan was on patrol when he spotted a man wanted by police. He jumped on his bike and caught up with the individual until uniformed officers could swoop in and make the arrest. Watch the chase here.
Now time for some recent court results!
Our officers work tirelessly to bring offenders before the courts and ensure justice is served. Here’s a few from this past month, who are now behind bars.
A man who pulled a knife on a police officer has been jailed for six months. Read more here.
A drink driver who was found snoring behind the wheel has been disqualified for 18 months. Read the full story here. Or watch the arrest here.
A gang who stole cars worth half a million have been jailed. Read more here.
A man who harassed his ex-partner and threw a brick through her window has been jailed for 31 months. Read the full story here.
Tips and tricks:
One of the main priorities of our Huntingdon Neighbourhood team is anti-social driving and motorbike and moped thefts.
We have recently been out responding to your concerns, but here are a few tips on how to keep your motorbike safe in the meantime:
1.Lock - Use a disc lock to help secure the front brake disc or a D lock on the front wheel to stop your moped being wheeled away. 2.Chain -Use a chain lock through the back wheel, this will prevent thieves from wheeling it away! 3.Cover - Make sure to cover your motorbike or moped. Thieves are often on the lookout for particular bike models; this will instantly make it less attractive to them!
Antisocial use of a vehicle, such as street racing, street cruising or off-road use is more than a matter of noise pollution, it can have a wider impact on a neighbourhood or community.

This is just some of what we have been up to this month, we are always working to protect the public and being visible and approachable in the communities.
If you would like to share any concerns, why not pop along to one of our community events?
We regularly host a ‘Coffee with a Cop’ and ‘Police Surgeries’ to understand the issues that are impacting you. For more updates on our next event, head to our website.
If you can’t make it to chat to us in person, report it online.
Alternatively, have your say at our next online community meeting on Wednesday 24th September at 7pm. If you are interested in joining us, email ‘Hunts’ to communitymeeting@cambs.police.uk and you will be sent a Teams invite.
