Dear e-coppers,
This is your monthly CID update, focusing on burglary and vehicle crime for January. Some good news is that we had 58 fewer burglary victims last month for southern division (Cambridge city, East Cambs and South Cambs), compared to last year. We will keep working on this. I realise most of the update is relevant to Cambridge city this month - another month may differ.
- We have arrested four young men in connection with a robbery on Saturday, January 16, at the One-Stop shop in Willingham where cash was stolen. Two of them were remanded to court and released on bail with conditions and tags. One has now been remanded in custody and the other was further arrested for an offence of shoplifting. Our work on this case continues.
- A 32-year-old Cambridge city burglar we charged with two burglaries in the city appeared in court for his sentence and he admitted a further 28 burglaries and vehicle thefts. It's great that we have been able to tell his victims that their offender is caught. He was given three years and got "significant credit" by the Judge for "cleaning his slate". A couple of his victims have now written to us, pleased their crime has been solved.
- We have arrested and charged a young man with two burglaries in Waterbeach and the Coleridge area of the city. We caught him after fitting a camera in the home of one of his previous victims. He went back to burgle again and that gave us the evidence we needed. He was caught within 36 hours. We also managed to match his DNA to that from another burglary.
- A raid took place at a woman's home in Selwyn Road, Cambridge and stolen property was found which came from a burglary in Hills Road in Cambridge in December. The woman implicated a man who we arrested and found him with keys from the burglary which were used to steal the owner's vehicle. He was on licence from prison and was swiftly recalled. The woman was cautioned for handling stolen goods and results of further forensic tests are awaited.
- We have stopped a pattern of offences being committed in Tesco's car-park in Cheddars Lane, Newmarket Road, Cambridge. Our offender waited for lone women to put their shopping in their car and return the trolley. He then stole the handbag from the vehicle. Our suspect was arrested, however actual evidence is very thin on the ground, but we are working on that. He is now under the watchful eye of our 'prolific and priority offender' team to prevent his offending and work with him to turn his life around. So far we have seen no further offences and he is still engaging well with officers.
- We raided a house in Ellison Close, Cambridge and recovered a laptop hidden. Two men were arrested and interviewed as we suspected the property had come from a burglary hours earlier. One man is currently on police bail and the other has just been sentenced for driving offences.
- A drugs warrant took place in Newmarket Road, Cambridge which led to a man being arrested for stealing a vehicle from the city. The log book was found at the address. Neighbourhood officers, reactive offices and CID all worked closely on this. He is currently on police bail for this offence and will be dealt with in the near future.
- An officer doing house to house enquiries identified a wanted burglar. As officers went to arrest him, he was in the process of committing a burglary in the Queen Edith's area. He was caught red-handed with the jewellery still in his pocket. He then admitted six further burglaries, two of which his was charged with and four will be taken into consideration when sentenced by the judge at court. Since his arrest, the series within the Queens Ediths area has all but stopped.
- A wanted man had been running from police for several days after we matched his DNA to a burglary. An officer spotted him and made the arrest. Our investigators quickly engaged with him and he's now admitted a further burglary, two non-dwelling burglaries and three thefts from vehicles. He has been remanded into custody and we have just heard he's told the judge he wants to admit more offences so his sentencing has been put back. Excellent news for those victims who will see their crimes cleared up.
- The city neighbourhood policing team and reactive officers quickly responded to a burglary in progress in Darwin Drive, Cambridge and gave chase resulting in two arrests and charges.
- A man was arrested after his DNA and footwear marks were found at the scene of a burglary. He is now on police bail with strict conditions while enquiries continue and so far he has been compliant (we check up on key people to ensure they behave as they are supposed to).
- We arrested, interviewed and charged a man for a burglary in French's Road, Cambridge.
We will aim to give you another update next month. Remember, if you have any information about a crime, please report it to us on 0345 456 456 4. If a crime is in progress always call 999.
Kind regards,
