£3,500 worth of suspected stolen goods recovered!
🍬213 confectionary products
🧼103 bottles of shampoo and body wash
🫧46 boxes of fabric cleaners and softeners
🥛1 Yazoo milkshake
No, this isn’t our shopping list, it is just a snapshot of the suspected stolen items that were recovered by our city centre neighbourhood officers on Sunday! 😮
We were in the area to carry out some patrols at the Wellington Street car boot, but before we could even make it to the event, a large group of between 20 and 30 people gathered in St Johns Street caught our eye.
Unfortunately, no one fancied stopping for a chat and tried to get away, but we managed to retrieve eight suitcases which were filled with approximately £3,500 worth of suspected stolen items! 👮♂️
Two women were arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods, but no further action has been taken against them. The items remain in our possession unless proof of ownership can be provided.

Teen football fan made “monkey gestures” towards Posh player
A teenage football fan was caught on CCTV making "monkey gestures" towards Peterborough United's Ricky-Jade Jones during a match against Cambridge United Football Club in November last year.
The 19-year-old pleaded guilty to committing a racially aggravated public order offence and has since been handed a three-year Football Banning Order (FBO).
We'd like to thank the two members of the public who reported this via the Posh text service after seeing it while watching the match on television.
Football matches should be enjoyable and safe events for families to attend, as well as for the players, and behaviour such as this will not be tolerated. We will seek to prosecute where offences have been committed and implement FBOs were appropriate.

Drink driver caught outside Peterborough McDonald’s
Thanks to a member of the public for calling us with concerns for a driver in Glinton, we were able to arrest another drink driver and put them before the courts!
The 51-year-old woman was seen to stop at the petrol station near McDonald’s in Lincoln Road in Glinton, and buy a bottle of vodka – which she drank while sat in the car.
She appeared in court last week, where she was banned from driving until December 2026, and must complete unpaid work and an alcohol treatment requirement.

Our Neighbourhood Support Team finished their set of early shifts this week by carrying out a warrant at a flat in Fletton…
Inside the home they found a substantial amount of suspected class A drugs (which will now be tested and valued), thousands of pounds in cash and multiple mobile phones, resulting in a man in his 30s being arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
He’s still with us in custody, not quite sure it’s how he had planned to spend his Friday night!
