It followed a day of action by police in a bid to make homes made safer through the work of the crime prevention teams.
In Cottenham a 25-year-old was arrested in Long Drove on suspicion of burglary. He has since been released under investigation.
The event, which took place yesterday (November 26), was a day of action for all teams to give residents knowledge and tools to protect their homes and property.
November was chosen as the month for the campaign day as there is often a spike in burglary offences.
