Have you been asked to buy gold bullion or jewellery on behalf of someone else?
Stop ⚠️ Think ⁉️ Report it to police 👮
We’re urging people to be vigilant after a spate of courier fraud incidents across the south and east of the country, including one in our area where the victim lost more than £1.5m!
Reports show victims have been contacted by criminals purporting to be from the police or the bank, claiming their accounts have been taken over by fraudsters.
Victims have then been coerced to transfer money and/or buy gold bullion and jewellery to aid the investigation, with criminals then posing as couriers to collect these valuable items from their homes.
For more information and to avoid falling victim to such scams, visit our website.
Please find below summaries of the latest news from our courts over the last week – click on each headline to read the full story.

Mr Matt Page
The local branch of the Royal British Legion and More Music Radio CIC are bringing to our town this year before I present it to you all at this weeks town council meeting this Thursday.
(More information coming)
In the headline statement from Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service, it says:-
For a Band D property this is an annual increase of £2.34, totalling £82.26 per year or £1.58 a week.
So is it £2.34 Million they are looking for?
The usual I am sorry to say ‘It is only ‘x’ amount per week/year.
Whilst I commend all our safety and rescue services, year on year we the paying public get the same arguments on ‘efficiencies‘ and cost savings – but we always end up paying more….
