Prolific criminal jailed for assault and crime spree

A prolific criminal has been jailed for more than two years after assaulting his former partner and committing a series of offences across Cambridgeshire.

Kyle Beaumont, 28, of Maarnford Close, Duxford, was sentenced to two years and three months in prison on 18 September at Peterborough Crown Court after admitting a catalogue of offences, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH), shop thefts, theft from motor vehicles, handling stolen goods and vehicle interference.

The court heard that on 1 April in Ely, Beaumont assaulted his former partner, punching her multiple times and spitting in her face.

He was also convicted of a string of other offences between August 2025 and February 2026, including multiple shop thefts in Ely and Milton where he stole alcohol, steak, cheese and washing products worth hundreds of pounds.

In Soham, in August last year, he committed three thefts from motor vehicles.

At court, Beaumont was handed a five-year restraining order, preventing him from contacting his former partner, and a five-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) prohibiting him from passing the threshold of any person’s driveway without permission and touching or entering any vehicle that does not belong to him without permission from the owner.

PC Alex Thake, from the Spree Offender Team, said: “This sentence reflects the seriousness of both the assault and the persistent offending that caused disruption and harm to local communities and businesses. Not only does this sentence hold Beaumont accountable for his actions but also provides further protection for his victim and the wider public.

“We would encourage anyone affected by violence, or abuse, to report it to us so we can take action.”
