NFU Mutual's, external annual survey on the cost of rural crime in Cambridgeshire has shown a 28% rise on 2015 figures, which the organisation has called "staggering".

It says criminals cost the county £1.9m in 2015, with oil and diesel, technology and horseboxes among the top targets. 

It's also warned the nature of rural crime is becoming more high-tech - with criminals cloning tractor identities and stealing GPS computer systems.   

Ben Underwood is regional director for the CLA, external, an organisation for owners of land, property and businesses in the countryside. He says the increase is concerning, as the national figures are largely static.

He added the CLA has been putting pressure on police to see a positive impact from the recently reformed rural action team, to bring the figures down.

Discussing Amazon's testing of drone deliveries in Cambridgeshire, Dr Ramsey Faragher, chief executive of GPS technology firm Focal Point Positioning based in Cambridge, said there are challenges around understanding what would happen if the radio controls failed on a drone.

He said "they would have to have a level of autonomy to fly back safely if the controls failed", adding that previous trials had taken place in more remote areas like the Australian outback.

Dr Faragher said someone could be significantly injured if they were struck by a falling drone and they could also cause damage to cars and buildings.

The BBC understands Amazon is testing drone deliveries in countryside between the A11 and Balsham.

Two footballers who received serious injuries in a crash in Newmarket on 1 July, each received £6,000  after a charity match at Newmarket Town FC, external's Cricket Field Road ground.

The Rail Accident Investigation Branch has released the results of its investigation into an overspeeding incident at Fletton Junction, external, where a train passenger and some staff were injured.

A Virgin Trains East Coast service from Newcastle to King's Cross passed through the junction at 51mph (82km/h), which is about twice the permitted speed of 25mph (40km/h).

The report found that it was likely the train driver had forgotten about the presence of the speed restriction owing to fatigue connected to family issues, and that he may have been distracted.

In addition, a speed limit assessment had not recognised the overspeeding risk particular to Fletton Junction, and a speed limit sign was smaller than the required size.

The incident caused the carriages to lurch sideways, resulting in minor injuries to three members of staff and one passenger.

One hundred years ago today, a Zeppelin cast a shadow over March early in the morning. The aircraft dropped several incendiaries over the town, aiming for the railway.

Most of them missed and landed in a local field. One remained intact and was found by Miss Gertrude Church, whose family ran the local pub.

The bomb and other artefacts from that day are on display at March Museum, external.

Although there were no human casualties, some cows sustained shrapnel damage, it was reported at the time.
