Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

Can you help with our witness appeal?

An 80-year-old man has been taken to hospital with serious injuries after a collision between two cars in Coates, near Whittlesey.

The collision, involving a white Vauxhall Mokka and a black MG3, took place just before noon today (12 September) in Wisbech Road, at the junction with Kingsland.

Both drivers were not seriously injured but the passenger in the Vauxhall, an 80-year-old man from Peterborough, was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, in Cambridge, with serious injuries where he remains.

Anyone who saw what happened or has dashcam footage of the collision, or the moments leading up to it, can report it through the force website or by calling 101, quoting incident 193 of 12 September.

You’ve worked hard your whole life to protect yourself and your family and create a secure financial future. 

The day you can down tools for good is in sight and dreams of days by the sea beckon… you can already feel the sand between your toes!

But what if someone took that all away from you? All your hard-earned cash gone in seconds, paying for someone else’s lavish lifestyle. 

Savers and those reaching retirement age are being warned to protect their pensions and look out for criminals trying to trick people out of their life savings, with Action Fraud revealing £48,129 was lost to this type of fraud every day in 2024.

Stay safe: 

• Secure your online pension account with a strong password
• Beware unsolicited calls about your pension. cold calling about pensions is illegal and likely a sign of a scam. If you’re thinking about changing your pension arrangements, you should seek financial advice
• Don’t be rushed into making an investment. Remember, legitimate organisations will never pressure you into investing on the spot
• Be cautious of anyone downplaying the risk of losing your money and beware returns that sound too good to be true (newsflash, they probably are!)

Rural Crime Action Week: Protecting Cambridgeshire’s Countryside

Cambridgeshire’s countryside may look peaceful — but behind the quiet lanes and open fields, rural crime continues to impact farmers, landowners, and communities.

From machinery theft and hare coursing to fly-tipping and livestock attacks, these crimes leave lasting damage. But Cambridgeshire Police, through our dedicated Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT), is working hard to tackle the issue head-on.

Throughout Rural Crime Action Week, we’re highlighting:

• The hidden cost of rural crime
• Cross-border policing efforts
• Community-led resilience
• New legislation and funding to strengthen our response

👮‍♂️ RCAT officers are specially trained to patrol farmland, investigate rural-specific offences, and collaborate with neighbouring forces.
👥 Communities are stepping up too — with WhatsApp alerts, watch groups, and shared security measures.

Together, we’re sending a clear message: rural Cambridgeshire is not alone.

📞Help us protect our countryside. If you see something suspicious, report it via 101 or online:

You can find out more about rural crime on our website.

Kind Regards,
Sergeant Tom Nuttall
Rural Crime Action Team
