What to do - Criminal Activity

Incidents involving criminal activity (abuse, threatening behaviour, weapons, drugs, assault etc) MUST be reported asap to the police. If the danger is imminent or actual, use "999", and you can then also use the local beat officers numbers if you have them, if reporting an incident that has happened already, contact Parkside Police Station or the local beat officers. If the event has happened so while ago then do not use 999 but report to the Cambridge Constabulary.

Such serious incidents are not in the jurisdiction of the Conservancy (although they may also involve some By-law breaches), but details of these incidents should also be copied to them as above.

Any incidences to do with the railway, or people trespassing on it should be reported to the British transport police as well but if danger is imminent or actual ring 999.
