About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area.

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

Priority:

Action taken:
Priority:

Using a combination of your feedback and our own data, we have set the below as the things your local neighbourhood policing teams across east of Peterborough will prioritise for April to June 2026:

- Retail theft and resale of stolen goods
- Vehicle nuisance and speeding in Dogsthorpe and Eastfield
- Drug use and drug dealing in Eastgate

Issued 24 March 2026

Action taken:

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.
In another example, a known prolific shoplifter was arrested in St Marks Street on suspicion of two thefts, an assault and an offence of racially aggravated public order. He was located and detained by our local PCSO Thomas Puthenparayil who was out on foot patrol. An investigation is ongoing.
A similar example saw a suspected shoplifter stopped in Eastfield Road with a large quantity of toiletries and grooming products seized. An investigation into this is also ongoing.
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 Eastern Neighbourhood Policing Team joined colleagues from Peterborough City Council’s Environmental Health department 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.
Other results of note include a drink driver that was arrested by the team and an electric "mini-moto" that was seized from a man in Victoria Park, Alma Road. The vehicle was believed to be stolen and an investigation is ongoing.
Officers have also conducted speeding checks in Dogsthorpe, with tickets issued for exceeding a 30mph limit. They also took the opportunity to speak to a number of local residents who were pleased to see them.
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. These have concentrated on areas where drug activity is suspected to take place.
During one such patrols, a neighbourhood officer spotted a man acting suspiciously. When speaking to him, the officer established he was wanted for an aggravated burglary. Following his arrest, information was also uncovered that suggested he was involved in drug supply. An investigation into this and other matters is ongoing.
