Hmm .......... the post code quoted in Cambridge appears to belong to Premier Travel Agency, 10 Rose Crescent, Cambridge, CB2 3LL but there are 21 other properties in Rose Cresecent with the same postcode, some of which are residential. I know that Premier Travel is a bonafide business as they have been trading in several towns for years and I have booked holidays through them before too :- http://www.premier-travel.co.uk/ Not sure what is going on here though (is someone using them as a front?) ............. perhaps Cambridgeshire Police might be interested to know more and they can be contacted via their website:-
