Our neighbourhood officers have been back out working towards their quarterly priorities. Here is what they have been up to in the last week:

👮Anti-social behaviour in the Bretton Centre 👮
Patrols around the Cresset have continued, and officers have taken time to talk to staff and those they saw about any ongoing concerns.
We have received some reports recently about youth-related ASB, and we will continue to be in the area when we can to identify those causing the issues.

🛴Anti-social use of e-scooters 🛴
During a community engagement at the Morrisons Daily in Netherton, our PCSO handed out flyers and spoke to those who attended about the laws around e-scooters and answered any questions.
As well as seizing e-scooters, the team want to educate the community as much as possible.

🏥Anti-social behaviour at Peterborough City Hospital 🏥
The team have been out patrolling the hospital grounds and car parks when they can, taking the time to talk to staff and patients.
Thank you to all those who have stopped to say hi!

Three shops have been closed in the city after concerns were raised about drug dealing and associated anti-social behaviour.

Peterborough Magistrates’ Court issued the three-month orders closing the Musa store, the Constanta shop and D1 Barbers, all on Lincoln Road, on Wednesday (25 February).

The ruling for the stores, in Millfield, followed an application from the force’s Northern Neighbourhoods Team.

Sergeant Paul Littlechild said: “Closure orders allow us to target the core issues within the community, and in this instance, it was drug dealing and its associated anti-social behaviour.

“Through regular patrols, we will ensure this order is adhered to. If you have any information about the order being breached, then please report it to us.”

The full closure orders state that the premises be closed in accordance with the Anti-Social Behaviour and Policing Act 2014. No one is permitted to enter except the emergency services until 24 May 2026.

If anyone is found on the premises unlawfully, they render themselves liable for arrest.

Anyone with information about the order being breached should contact us online: https://orlo.uk/Report-Info_aTA5d or call 101 if you do not have internet access.

👮 “I like the variety the job has to offer and how no two days are ever the same”
👮 “One of the best parts of the job is all the wonderful people we get to meet and work alongside”
👮 “I enjoy helping people and trying to make a positive difference to the communities we serve”

These are some of the answers our PCSOs gave to children at Norwood Primary School, in Gunthorpe, during a recent careers talk.

We also talked to them about the different departments within in the police, what training and qualities you need to do the job, and the different tasks we get up to day-to-day.

We're currently recruiting for PCSOs and inviting applications. Find out more and apply on our website👉 https://orlo.uk/oJXGy

It was also great to see the work the reception children had done following our most recent visit proudly displayed on the wall. Excellent work everyone and we are glad you learnt lots during our visit! 👏

Yesterday evening, ANPR alerted us to a stolen car in Eastfield Road.

Response officers found a recovery vehicle parked in Southfields Drive in Stanground, carrying not one… but two stolen vehicles that had been taken from New England earlier this month! 😮🚗

Despite searching the area to find the driver, they weren’t keen on speaking to us and had made off.

👮The recovery vehicle was seized along with the two stolen vehicles, and investigations into the matter are ongoing.

A Peterborough man who kicked a woman in the face, fracturing her eye socket and cheekbone, in an unprovoked attack has been sent to prison for six years.

Kosta Dimitrov, 36, of Lincoln Road, Millfield, had pestered the victim, claiming he was in love with her, prior to the brutal attack in Baker Park on Westfield Road, on 2 July last year.

The victim was sat with friends when Dimitrov approached from behind and kicked her several times to the head before punching her.

Scared Dimitrov would return, the women fled the scene, calling the police once they were home believing their friend had been killed.

Gavin Boot, 33, has been jailed after he threatened to “execute” his ex-partner less than a month after being released from prison for domestic abuse charges.

Despite a restraining order against him, Boot manipulated his way into the victim’s home following his release from prison, when she discovered messages on his phone which triggered a violent outburst from him.

On Friday, Boot was jailed for two years and eight months after admitting to sending communications threatening death or serious harm, criminal damage and making threats to kill.

Our response officers were in Dogsthorpe searching for a wanted man in the early hours of Monday morning when they saw a vehicle travelling at speed.

Suspecting it was the person they were looking for, they stopped the car but found something completely different...a large amount of class B drugs. The driver also tested positive for being under the influence of cannabis.

The car was seized and a man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of:
✅ Drug driving
✅ Possession with intent to supply class B
✅ Driving without insurance

He has since been bailed whilst investigations are ongoing.

A big part of the work our Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT) do is maintaining strong relationships with the members of our rural communities so we can work together to tackle any issues. 👮🚜

🏍️Last week, we met with some landowners who have been dealing with quadbikes damaging their fields. As some of the land is already growing crops, every time a bike cuts across the field, the plants get destroyed and ultimately affect the harvest. There have also been other fields that have been freshly drilled in preparation for planting but the tyre tracks mean that it will have to be done again – costing time, fuel, and money.
To some, this may just seem like harmless fun, but these actions have a significant impact on the famers and shows a complete disregard for the hard work they do.

🗑️Whilst on patrols in Thorney and Eye, we also discovered several incidents of fly tipping. We have liaised with Peterborough City Council, who will arrange for the waste to be cleared.
Fly tipping places an unnecessary financial burden on both the council and local landowners, and we continue to work in partnership to tackle this issue together.

You can report fly tipping to the council here👉 https://orlo.uk/i6PGY
