E-Cops - Re-appeal over two CCTV images

We are still trying to trace two people in connection with the disorder in Cambridge on Tuesday (August 9) and would ask you to view two CCTV images we have released.

Officers were called to reports of between 30 and 40 youths, some wearing face coverings, hanging around Midsummer Common at 11.35pm. The group made their way towards the Grafton Centre and some threw items, including rubbish, at officers. Two officers suffered minor injuries.

The images can be found at the bottom of this email (web link).

We are keen to hear from anyone who recognises these people. I would also urge the people who are pictured to contact police themselves. Anyone with any information should call me on 0345 456 456 4 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

Police Advice Regarding Social Media and Riot Rumours

Cambridgeshire Police have been urging people across Cambridgeshire to ignore the various riot rumours circulating on social networks (Twitter, Facebook) in relation to Cambridgeshire. Cambridgeshire Police have their own Twitter feed which is updated regularly and is probably the best place for news and local updates;

https://twitter.com/#!/cambscops

The official news release is below.

"We are urging social media users not to believe everything they read on Twitter or Facebook – unless it’s an official feed.

We have been receiving a number of calls and Tweets, following rumours and speculation circulating on social media sites.

There is no truth in these rumours, and we have been working hard to reassure the public through their official Twitter feeds @cambscops and @suptpaul.

We would urge people not to believe everything they read on social media sites – unless it from an official police feed. There are a number of unhelpful postings and rumours that are simply untrue. 

We are also actively pursuing anyone we believe to be using social networking sites to incite violence and disorder.

Young people are particularly reminded of the risks of committing serious criminal offences with items they post on social networking sites. 

We continue to monitor the situation across the county – as well as other parts of the country, and are committed to keeping the people of Cambridgeshire as informed 

as possible through our official channels.

Anyone concerned about issues in their area can keep an eye on our Twitter feeds @cambscops and @suptpaul"
