Drugs Update for March, Chatteris & Whittlesey

Dear Roy,

We’re sorry we’ve been a little quiet lately, but we have been so busy that we’ve barely had time for a cup of tea and a doughnut!

However, over the last couple of weeks your March, Chatteris and Whittlesey neighbourhood team have arrested 10 people for possession with intent to supply class A and class B drugs. These arrests come from proactive and intelligence-led policing, and the arrests account for a number of different investigations.

As a result, we have seized more than £90,000 in cash and a significant quantity of drugs.

For those who continue to supply drugs and cause harm in Fenland, we may not have not got round to them yet, but rest assured we will catch up with them as soon as we can.

If you have information or concerns about drugs, you can report online here.

Have a lovely weekend Fenland!

Sent on behalf of Inspector Andy Morris, from the Fenland Neighbourhood Policing Team

ALERT: More On – Energy Bill Scam Texts

Action Fraud has received 139 crime reports relating to fake text messages purporting to be from the UK government. The texts state that the recipient is “owed” or “eligible” for an energy bill discount as part of the Energy Bill Support Scheme. The links in the emails lead to genuine-looking websites that are designed to steal your personal and financial information.

You can see screenshots of the text messages on our Twitter post here.

How to protect yourself

·  Energy Bill Discount : £400 off energy bills for households in Great Britain from October 2022. You do not need to apply for the scheme and you will not be asked for your bank details.

·  Spotted a suspicious text message? Forward it to 7726 (it’s free of charge). If you forward a text to 7726, your provider can investigate the origin of the text and arrange to block or ban the sender, if it’s found to be malicious.

Not A Good Tortoise Year ?

Our ‘pet’ tortoises have not done so well this year, too hot, too cold and too dry, they have not put on much weight at all! – normally a few grams but this year hardly anything – hopefully they have enough in storage for their long hibernation which begins today.
A quick check over – a very light dusting of virgin olive oil – and in their box(s) until next spring.

Friends of the Manor – Last Night

Kids in sport stay out of court? — — (a campaign in New Zealand)

An excellent turn out of individuals and those representing various groups in our town.
19 people, including 5 Whittlesey Councillors.
The meeting organised by Mr Robert Windle was an open session for everyone to have an input as to what they wanted the Manor area to become/improved.

Until an application for funding which is being presented to the Combined Authority it would be unfair to go into too much detail at this time (you should maybe have been at the meeting) once the minutes have been agreed, there maybe some more information coming.
Great emphasis by everyone was to encourage young people to get involved.

A very diverse and knowledge base of attendee’s had many idea’s on how the area can and could be improved.

I hope that given the very positive meeting held, that the momentum can carry on.
