Prostitution has been "significantly reduced" in north Cambridge after "overt and covert activity", but kerb crawlers remain a problem, say police. An operation to clear the Histon Road area began after residents complained to police and the city council. He said they had been offered support to keep them off the streets, and warned persistent kerb crawlers they would be "relentlessly pursued". Ch Insp Sargent said the problem of sex workers was brought to the force's attention by "a very active Neighbourhood Watch team".
He said he had "no doubt" some sex workers had moved from the area to other parts of city, but said "these particular core individuals are no longer walking the streets and offering their services in that respect". That is something we will continue to relentlessly pursue.
