Tomorrow the South Cambs Safer Neighbourhood Team start a 30 day campiagn to reduce burglary and vehicle crime across the district.

This operation will be a campaign rolled out on the streets of our communities to prevent burglaries, shed break-ins and vehicle crime. We will target a community each day, flooding villages and towns with uniform staff to spread our crime prevention message.

Op Oaklands is focused on increasing home and vehicle security and reducing the potential reward for criminals. We are a vast rural community in South Cambs, and our crime patterns do not fit an identifiable pattern, as seen in an urban environment. Crime prevention and intelligent patrol are the key to success.

We will be posting regular information about the opertation and some of the tactics we are using on our Facebook page, twitter account, here on our blog and talking to our ecops and NHW members.

Officers on the ground will be offering residents shed alarms for just  £7.00 – these are a simple and effective deterrent.

Below are the dates we will be visiting communities over the 30 days. If you would like advice on home, shed or vehicle security and don’t live in the villages listed below, please call 101 and ask to talk with your local PCSO.
