Issued: 24 Mar 2026
Status Update
- Retail theft and resale of stolen goods
Work on this priority has included attending shops in Boongate in response to anti-social behaviour – with youths engaged with and dispersed.
Officers have also attended a local car boot sale where a large quantity of suspected stolen goods, worth thousands of pounds, were seized.
- Vehicle nuisance and speeding in Dogsthorpe and Eastfield
Officers from the neighbourhood team joined colleagues from Peterborough City Council’s Environmental Health team during the quarter to address ongoing concerns around parking and abandoned vehicles.
During the visit, seven notices were issued to abandoned vehicles, with details passed to the DVLA so they can be removed.
- Drug use and drug dealing in Eastgate
Senior officers have met with numerous partner agencies to discuss this issue and specific streets in Eastgate. Plans are being made to work with partners to safeguard vulnerable people and tackle cuckooing concerns. Cuckooing is when a vulnerable person’s property is taken over by other people, often to sell drugs.
In addition to this work, patrols by officers from the neighbourhood team have continued.
