This is pa******le William Thompson, who sexually abused two children in the early 2000s and has now been brought to justice ⚖️

His crimes only came to light when the victims disclosed the abuse to friends later in life and felt ready to share what had happened to them.

DC Fiona Bagshaw said: “Child abuse comes in many different forms and can affect anyone. It’s everyone’s responsibility to help stop the abuse and tell someone, whether you’re a victim, friend or adult.

“We encourage all members of the public to be aware of adults who pay an unusual amount of attention to a child. Sharing any concerns, no matter how small, can make all the difference. This case also highlights that no matter when it happened or is reported, we take reports of this nature extremely seriously.”

Officers from the Special Constabulary have been out on patrol supporting the work of our neighbourhood teams.

They patrolled in Bretton, the Ortons and central Peterborough earlier this week, engaging with the public. They also gave words of advice to a motorist driving without their headlights illuminated and helped another driver move their broken-down vehicle to a safe place.

Specials volunteer their spare time to give something back to their community. There’s a minimum commitment of four hours a week and many Specials have regular long-term careers.

In return, they receive professional training and learn skills and experience that can be used in everyday life and career progression.

⚠️ 🚔 Latest from British Transport Police

Anthony Williams will appear at court this afternoon charged with further offences linked to the major incident on a train at Huntingdon earlier this month.

Williams, 32, of Langford Road, Peterborough, will appear at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court this afternoon charged with seven further offences.

Following the incident at Huntingdon, BTP took primacy on a wider investigation into Williams and the events leading up to what happened on the train.

Williams has been further charged with:

• Attempted Murder of a 14-year-old boy at Henry Penn Walk, Peterborough, on 31 October
• Attempted Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) of a 28-year-old man at Viersen Platz, Peterborough, on 31 October
• Attempted Murder of a 22-year-old man near Pleasure Fair Meadow Road, Peterborough, on 31 October
• Affray and Possession of a Bladed Article in connection to an incident at Ritzy Barbers in Peterborough on 31 October
• Theft of knives from Asda supermarket in Stevenage on 31 October
• Common Assault of a 31-year-old man on-board a train travelling between Hitchin and Biggleswade on 31 October

These are in addition to the charges already authorised. BTP Deputy Chief Constable Stuart Cundy said: “These are significant new charges of Anthony Williams. Our investigation into the awful incident at Huntingdon has also focused on other offences previously reported to police or identified by our investigation. We have worked closely with our colleagues in Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Police alongside the Crown Prosecution Service to bring these charges.

“I would once again like to stress the importance of not saying or publishing anything which might jeopardise or prejudice ongoing criminal proceedings, or the integrity of the investigation."

Our Spree Offender Team participated in a two-day operation last week as part of ongoing efforts to combat retail crime.

They teamed up with Peterborough Positive and neighbourhood officers on patrols in the city centre, engaging with local businesses and dealing with any offences.

They made four arrests as part of the Safer Business Action Week operation, with some resulting in charges and other investigations ongoing.

The Spree Offender Team were set up earlier this year to focus on the small number of people who commit a large number of offences – many of these involve retail crime.

Can you help with our appeal? 📱👀 A teenager has been left with serious injuries in hospital after a collision between a pick-up truck and an e-scooter in Farcet near Peterborough.

The 17-year-old, from Peterborough, was riding an e-scooter along Peterborough Road when he was involved in the collision at 4.16pm yesterday (Monday, 17 November). He suffered serious injuries and was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, where he remains.

The driver of the pick-up truck, a man from Peterborough, was uninjured, interviewed at the scene and is helping police with their enquiries.

We're appealing for witnesses and anyone with any information, including dash cam footage, to get in touch – particularly if they witnessed either vehicle before the collision.

Two of our PCSOs have been out and about meeting local children at schools and clubs in the north of the city.

They went to Thorpe Primary Academy in Netherton to speak to Year 6 pupils about safety, as well as going to Gunthorpe Primary School to talk about the role of the police.

During the visit in Gunthorpe they showed the children the police car and the various pieces of equipment used by officers.

As well as visiting schools, our PCSOs go to clubs such as the Beavers group in Werrington, where they again spoke about safety and discussed various aspects of policing such as the vehicles used.

Visits such as these are an important part of community engagement as we aim to reach people from a young age about policing and community safety.
