Free bike marking

We’ll be at Orchard Park Sports Centre on Friday 17th November between 4pm and 7pm marking bikes for free. The process takes about 10 minutes and follows the below steps: 1. Add your bike details to the National Police-approved database 2. Mark and protect your bike with a security marking kit 3. Reduce the risk of theft by warning thieves that your bike is marked and increase the chances of you being reunited with it, if it happens to get stolen. You’ll need to bring your bike and frame number with you (this can normally be found on the bottom bracket of the bike. We also ask that you register with BikeRegister before you arrive. We look forward to seeing you there. PC Christopher Smits South Cambs Neighbourhood Policing Team

Halloween is here, the Cambridgeshire Constabulary would like to emphasise the importance of keeping safe whilst having a spooktacular time!   If you’ve got children heading out for trick-or-treating, please remind them of the importance of being mindful of those who do not wish to participate in the holiday. In order to respect those who may not wish to participate for a manner of reasons, we ask that you do not knock on the doors of those who have ‘no trick or treaters’ signs or even those without any lights/decorations displayed.   With it getting darker earlier, you can help make it safer for children by keeping your outdoor lights on. Furthermore, ensure that children are accompanied by a responsible adult.   For those thinking of taking part in the ‘trick’ aspect of Halloween, it is important to keep in mind that any deliberate behaviour that results in damage or hurts someone is a crime.   We hope you won’t need the them, but as with any other day of the year, the Police are at the end of the phone if you need them and will have our neighbourhood officers on patrol across the country as a visible presence.   You can find more information and where to report any issues via our dedicated webpage.
