Yesterday (4th June) afternoon between 16:10 & 17:00hrs on the park on South Park Drive, Papworth Everard a female approached a group of 9 - 10yr old children. She is described as a white female, approx 5ft 8ins tall and of slim build and muscular arms. She was wearing a white t-shirt with a black hooded cloak over the top and a black ankle length skirt. She produced a 5 inch bladed knife with a short black handle, from a belt around her waist and shouted, at the children, 'Don't come any closer'.
Unfortunately this was not reported to police until some 2 hours after the incident.
This incident is extremely serious and we are keen to receive any information regarding the identity of the female.
If you have any idea or a suspicion of who this female may be then please ring police on 0845 456 465 4 and quote incident number CC-04062008-0544. |

The beat has been fairly busy with 50 reported incidents over the 7 villages and 20 reported crimes.
Most of the crimes, this month, seem to relate to vehicles - please remember to lock the doors and not to leave valuables and SatNav equipment in them as someone is bound to take a liking to them at some point. This is
especially important if you are going to any form of concert, exhibition or beauty spot anywhere in the country.
Reported burglaries seem to be down this month with only one (in Graveley ) being reported.
As usual most of the reported incidents relate to the crimes and there is no trend in the last month. Youth anti-social behaviour seems low again this month with only 2 reports (both from the same house). This relates to a group of teenage lads in Papworth trying to gatecrash a private party and causing damage to the front door. Yes, I do know who the youths are but the house owner has decided not to formally report the matter. This incident left the owner's 16yr old daughter very shaken, but luckily I and a colleague were on duty late last Friday and attended both reports. This one incident really shows the importance of reporting incidents at the time (and I make no apology of banging on about it again).
Steps have been taken to combat the problem of anti-social motorcycle riding on the Nature Reserve at Fen Drayton with the posting of 2 off road police motorcycles to the Histon area. Already a number of unlicensed
motorcycles have been seized and stolen motor vehicles recovered by the riders. Their patrols will continue. |

This is a strange question to be asking at 1030am on a Saturday. I ask it for a reason and following on from an incident which I and a Colleague dealt with late last night (Friday 30th May).
A family, in Papworth, had gone away leaving their 16 year old daughter at home for the weekend and had given permission for a sleep-over for her and 5 of her friends.
All was going well until 1105pm when a call was received in the Police Service Centre to say that there was a lot of noise going on outside the house and a group of 10 youths trying to get into the house.
I and my Colleague were first on the scene - the youths outside the house had gone but instead of 6 youths in the house we found 17, who had been drinking. Not enough to be drunk but in high spirits as well as being really upset by the youths trying to get into the house.
We left satisfied with the situation and giving the youngsters advice only to get a further call some 20 minutes later to say that the youths were back and trying to get in again.
This time 4 police crews were sent from as far away as Sawston and Newmarket - again, I and my Colleague were first on the scene, again the youths had left before we got there even though we were only at Cambourne.
This time we closed the party down and sent all the visiting youths home.
So - the consequences of this sleep-over could have been very different if the youths had forced their way into the house.
I have no doubt that the youth at the party were only enjoying themselves and are 'good' people.
I DO know the names and address of the youths banging on the door - which, by the way, has been dented in a couple of places (not easy with a UPVC Door) and who uprooted a pot plant and if a complaint is made then action will be taken.
More importantly - some of this group are the regular 16yr olds who are always seen drunk in Papworth - they could even be YOUR sons. SO - DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR CHILDREN ARE DOING WHEN THEY ARE OUT???
Papworth should, and deserves, to be a great village - at present it is being spoilt by the actions of anti-social, irresponsible youths who have no public or community spirit. This is not only aimed at Papworth but all the villages.
Am I alone in trying to stop it?
Are you as parents doing all YOU can find out where YOUR children are at midnight? |
