A former town mayor who raped a woman in her own home and a gang of armed robbers who carried out a terrifying raid in Peterborough are among those who have been jailed for crimes in and around Peterborough in August.
Aigars Balsevics had been Mayor of Wisbech a few days before he raped a woman two years ago. After being found guilty of rape at a trial, he was jailed in August for more than six years.
Another crook spending time behind bars is Ben Cunningham, who kept cocaine with a street value of nearly £500,000 on a boat.
And a gang of six who carried out a raid in Peterborough were jailed – receiving a total of more than 50 years between them.
These are not all the criminals jailed in August – just those that Cambridgeshire Police have released a picture of.
