Cambridgeshire Police
Two incidents to report this past month, the first is the theft of
the defibrillator from its location in the High Street, Buckden.
This piece of equipment is there to save lives and although no
witnesses saw the defib taken, I urge that if taken as a prank
then it be returned to the Buckden village hall immediately.
However, there have been reports of these items being stolen
across the country and we may not see it again.
The second incident is vandalism caused at the bus shelter by
the A1 pedestrian underpass, again totally senseless damage.
If anyone has seen a group or an individual in the area of the
underpass over the past few weeks please let me know.
Suspicious activity reports have dried up this past month
which could be good news but please don’t forget to report
any suspicious activity in on 101.
Please feel free to contact me, if you have any information, or
require any advice.
