Neighbourhood Policing Where You Live

For the first three months of this year your Neighbourhood Policing Team in the March area have been busily working on their priorities. 

These have included tackling vehicle-related anti-social behaviour and traffic offences in March, Whittlesey and Chatteris town centres. A significant amount of work has been done in this area, including making arrests, issuing fixed penalty notices and seizing vehicles for various road-related offences. 

Another focus was targeting drug dealing hotspots to disrupt criminal networks and safeguard young people at risk of exploitation. Work included executing warrants, proactive patrols, conducting stop searches and working with partner agencies.

The final priority for the team was providing a visible policing presence in town centres and other public spaces to offer community reassurance and address any safety concerns. Thank you to everyone who came to say hello to the officers while they were out and about.

Although considerable progress has been made in these areas, the team has decided to keep their priorities the same for April – June to continue this good work.

In June we will be holding a quarterly priority meeting where you can raise any ongoing concerns and help influence the issues the team focuses on. The date will be sent out via this email system – it’d be great to see you there.

For more information on policing where you live, or to raise a concern, visit our website.

Thank you for your support.

Last Nights WTC F&P + Planning Meeting

Nothing overly concerning other than Cllr Nawaz as is the norm turns up 20 minutes late for the Finance & Policy meeting when the last item on the agenda was being discused.

5 members (3 Councillors) of the public listened into the F&P.


Mr Gordon Moore, raised issues and concerns about the number and specific ‘Vape Shops’ within the town, and stated that there was and are suspicious items being sold including to children. Standing orders were suspended, in order the Chair Cllr Boden and Cllr Mrs Laws could answer……being the planning enforcement are aware as are the local police.

This is a nationwide issue and not just in Whittlesey.

Note : – The Town Clerk is planned to return to the office today Tuesday 14th April.

Investment Scam Warning

A man from Cambridgeshire has lost more than £60,000, including his entire pension pot, after being targeted by an investment scam. 

The fraudsters contacted the victim over the phone purporting to be from an investment management company and spoke to him about investments in crypto.

They encouraged the vulnerable man to download a banking app as part of the investments, and from there were able to take complete control of his finances.

They moved thousands of pounds out of his accounts and even managed to get access to his pension.  

Officers are in touch with the victim and safeguarding measures are now in place. 

Investment scams are on the rise. Don’t let your investment dreams turn into a nightmare…

💸 Do your research – criminals create fake platforms to imitate genuine investment sites. Search the company on the FCA Firm Checker and beware of poor design, spelling and grammar. 

💸 Beware unsolicited approaches over the phone or on social media or dating platforms about day trading or crypto investment schemes.

💸 Beware of ‘early exit’ attempts to move communication from the original platform onto an encrypted platform, such as WhatsApp or Telegram.

💸 Beware of continuous pressure to make additional investments, and of messages being sent outside business hours.

💸 Be suspicious if you are advised to ignore warning messages from banks & crypto exchanges or being instructed not to tell anyone about a ‘special deal.’

If you think you’ve been a victim, report it to Report Fraud and to us immediately:
