Man ordered to pay £100 to a swan charity after incident on Embankment
A man has been given a community resolution after reports were made of a swan attack in Peterborough.
The incident was reported to police on Friday, October 6 at the Embankment. Police launched a CCTV appeal to trace a man in connection with the alleged incident.
On Monday, October 9, officers said a man had been identified in connection with the incident, and would be voluntarily interviewed by officers. The man was not arrested.
Today a Cambridgeshire Police spokesperson said a man in his 30s from Peterborough has been given a community resolution in relation to this, with conditions to donate £100 to the Swan Sanctuary charity and participate in a Thinking Skills course.
A Community resolution is an informal non-statutory disposal used for dealing with less serious crime and anti-social behaviour where the offender accepts responsibility.
