Agenda frontsheet 08022023 1300 Planning Committee
Catalytic converter theft in Cambridgeshire is at an all-time high.
The number of catalytic converters stolen from cars across the county has risen by 141 per cent in the past four years.
Last year (2022) thieves stole 758 catalytic converters, an average of two a day, compared to 314 in 2019.
With 133 further thefts recorded so far this year (up until 31st Jan) – more than four a day – we are urging residents to call in any suspicious behaviour around vehicles so it can be acted upon as soon as possible.
We believe there are several groups of people coming from out of the county to carry out these thefts.
It takes just minutes for these people to remove a catalytic converter and on many occasions victims are unaware their vehicle has been targeted even though it was sat on their driveway.
We’ve recently seen an increase in people reporting the thefts as they are happening which on some occasions has resulted in arrests and seizures of stolen catalytic converters.
We’re urging you to:
Catalytic converters are found in the exhaust system of every car and reduce the output of toxic gases and pollutants. Stealing them has become popular because they are not easily identifiable when sold on for the metals found inside them.
Toyotas and Hondas have been predominantly targeted but other vehicles including Lexus, Mercedes, Mazda and Volkswagen have also been singled out.
You can read more about catalytic converter theft on our website.
Kind Regards
Detective Inspector Dan Cooper
Disclaimer:- As a Whittlesey Town Councillor, I am part of the Planning Committee at WTC, I have and maybe lobbied on planning matters, but be aware, I must not be pre-determined on any planning matters. I have published this document as I believe it is in the public interest.
More bad news for the Fenland Conservative Group, some may call an implosion, some may call toxic and others call dysfunctional.
Whilst ‘trying’ to put on a ‘united front’ the news just gets worse, today Elworthy prints the latest – The president of the Conservative association in Health Secretary Steve Barclay’s Cambridgeshire constituency has quit.
Former Fenland District Council leader Alan Melton has resigned as both president and treasurer of the NE Cambridgeshire Conservative Association (NECCA).
Alan Melton not being very complimentary to the current leadership.

(RG) I met on several occasions Alan Melton and got on OK with him, his ‘style’ was somewhat Brusque – but then again so can many others.
The in fighting then is not much difference to now – it just that different areas of Fenland just can not gell very well.
The damage limitation could be that AM is a yesterday man…?

Whittlesey Town Council have as requested by many members of the public installed, movable MVAS Boxes around the area, the data which I publish when given, is sent to both the Police and the Police & Crime Commissioner.
The PCC has 3 dedicated funded teams in Cambridgeshire who look at our and other Councils/Volunteer Groups (Speed Watch) and then target the worst offending areas.
The box ‘Violations with ACPO’ is when a speeder would normally be ‘ticketed’ – it is this percentage which carries the weight.
A vehicle doing 88mph past King Delph may or maynot have been an emergency vehicle.
Church Gardens / Coates & Teal Road Whittlesey show up as areas of concern.
These stats are pretty consistent throughout the data recording periods from 2021.
If you have concerns about speeding in your area, contact your own Councillor who can request for a MVAS to monitor and collect data from that area.
