Queen Edith’s has a new police sergeant, Jim Stevenson. He presented his first report to the public at the South Area meeting at Homerton College last Thursday.

In general, crime in Queen Edith’s has decreased slightly over the last quarter, except for bicycle thefts, particularly in the Hills Road area and at Addenbrooke’s. While the number of anti-social offences decreased, eight  incidents on Queen Edith’s Way of youths congregating and throwing things had been reported and more details were requested.  There were 10 reports of abandoned vehicles.

Sgt Stevenson also spoke of the benefits to police work of community intelligence. Recently, information from the public had resulted in a warrant to search and the discovery of a cannabis factory. The police are always glad to hear of issues that may concern the community. The email address is:  [email protected] or for all non-emergencies 0345 456 4564
