Paedophiles, drug dealers and burglars are among those who spent Christmas behind bars after being jailed in December for crimes committed in and around Peterborough.
Cambridgeshire Police released the mug shots of 17 crooks who were locked up in the last month of 2024.
One of those locked up was Peter Swan, 62, of Weatherthorn, Orton Malborne, Peterborough. Swan was jailed for 16 years after admitting a string of sex offences, having contacted women in the Philippines and offering them money in return for either a live stream or video of children carrying out sexual acts.
Judge Sean Enright said Swan carried out “a sustained campaign against children in a third-world country”, the like of which he had not seen before in court.
These are not all the criminals jailed in December – just those that Cambridgeshire police released a picture of.
