A man who raped a woman in Peterborough, drug dealers and ‘an extraordinarily drunk’ lorry driver who put thousands of lives at risk on the A1M are among the crooks jailed for crimes in and around our city during October.
Matthew Fox was jailed for 11 years after he was found guilty of rape at a trial. Members of his family were also jailed for perverting the course of justice after they contacted the victim.
The 21 people included in this story are not the only people jailed during October – just the ones Cambridgeshire Police have released a picture of.
