Aidan Bird
Aidan Bird, 18, was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison for burglary and kidnap.
The St Ives teenager attacked multiple teenagers in February 2023 when he broke into a Somersham home, armed with a machete.
He broke into another home in Somersham, again with a machete, and stole items.
He also kidnapped a 17-year-old boy, drove him to a remote location in Warboys, and attacked him.
He attacked another teenager in Huntingdon before locking him in a garage.
Mary Casey
Casey, a 34-year-old from St Albans, ran over her one-year-old great niece after she drunkenly drove the wrong way down a one-way street in Cambridge.
In July 2022, Casey overtook four cars waiting at traffic lights, sped round a corner and through no entry signs, where she lost control and crashed into two parked cars.
After the crash, Casey's great-niece was removed from the car and placed on the pavement, before Casey reserved the car and hit the one-year-old.
Casey's great-niece suffered a bleed on the brain, a fractured skull and fractured ribs.
Casey now faces 20 months behind bars, and a three year and 10 month driving disqualification.
Voldemaras Rimasauskas
Rimasauskas, 31, landed himself 12 years in prison after he threw homemade petrol bombs at an open window in Huntingdon Police Station in December 2022.
The arsonist failed to hit the window, where three police officers were inside, but caused significant scorch damage on the building.
He used socks, which were discovered at the scene of the crime, to light the devices that he'd made at home.
Nathan Lovell
Nathan Lovell, 33, from Wisbech, paid nearly £5,000 for adults to abuse children around the world, and had over 1,000 indecent images of children on his phone.
The paedophile sexually abused two young girls between January 2021 and June 2023.
When police arrested him, they found 1,258 indecent images or videos of children on his phone.

Shaun Wheeler, 33, of Peterborough, threatened to "flatten" his blackmail victim, as well as telling him to rob a post office, steal from his family, and sell his children's Christmas presents.
In December 2023, Wheeler was owed £490. When his victim couldn't pay, he tripled the debt to £1,500 and began to threaten his victim.
Wheeler was arrested after the victim paid him back the £490 and ceased contact with him.
