Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

This week due to some active community residents/NHW & councillors, a serious drug dealer has been raided and will be charged with a number of offences.

There are other individuals who are openly dealing in serious drugs here in our town.
If you have concerns please report it to the Police, it is so easy.

Our officers are committed to tackling drug related issues within Cambridgeshire and we welcome any information you may have about drug use or dealing. 

To help keep our communities safe, we encourage you to look out for common signs of drug dealing and let us know if you see anything suspicious. 

Another way professional criminals deal drugs in particular neighbourhoods, known as ‘cuckooing’. Cuckooing involves offenders targeting the homes of vulnerable people and using it to deal drugs.

Those who usually become vulnerable to cuckooing are lonely, isolated and drug users themselves. In fact, dealers usually offer them free drugs as a way of getting into the victims home. The property is then used to deal and manufacture drugs for a short period of time before the dealer moves onto somewhere new. 

If you think this may be happening where you live, please get in touch so that we can prevent vulnerable people falling victim to this crime.

Abandoned vehicles (4 +1) (No MOT’s or Vehicle Tax) have been removed from Station Road Whittlesey, again this came about by ‘team work’ by several individuals, NHW and local Councillors.

Clicking on one of these dangerous hashtags could land you in prison for 14 years

Santander have reported that an alarming amount of people under the age of 25 are being tricked into clicking on fraudulent hashtags and becoming money mules – a crime which can see lead to a prison sentence of up to 14 years. Money mules are individuals who allow criminals to use their bank accounts to transfer money associated with illegal activity, and are more often than not offered cash in return for doing so. Santander says that the amount of money mules has increased by 29 per cent in the last year alone, with 49 per cent of them being under the age of 25 – 70 per cent of people are said to be unaware about what a money mule actually is, which a factor which illustrates just how valuable unsuspecting social media users can be to criminals.

These are the hashtags NOT to click on:

#Moneyflipsuk
