Statement from the Police and Crime Commissioner, Darryl Preston

I am shocked to hear about the number of racially motivated attacks that have taken place in Cambridge over the last couple of weeks and am here in Mill Road today to give my support to those affected.

There is no place for any kind of racially motivated crime in our county and I can assure you that these recent incidents are being taken very seriously by the Constabulary.

To victimise anyone for who they are is inexcusable. I want to remind anyone who finds themselves targeted for abuse because of their gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or disability, that they should report it to the police.
