Five people, including three children, were rescued from an overturned vehicle in Stanground this week by Peterborough’s road police officers.
Emergency services saved all five passengers from the vehicle, which came off Ramsey Road, in Farcet, on June 5,
It was just one of the incidents covered in the last seven days by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire (BCH) Road Policing Unit – the policing unit which patrols Peterborough’s roads.
Other incidents included a pursuit ending with the driver abandoning the vehicle and setting off on foot, and a heavily modified vehicle with overly tinted windows.
The Peterborough Telegraph has compiled a round-up of the images shared on the BCH Road Poling Unit’s social media account this week in the next seven images:

Officers stopped this heavily modified vehicle because of its tinted windows. Tintman - a measuring device for checking the percentage of light visible through a vehicle's windows - revealed the vehicle's windows were only allowing 27 per cent of available light through - when the minimum is 70 per cent.
