Local Policing Report - May 2016
Rather than present the information in textual form, as has been done for the last few months, the performance data has now been tabulated to show performance on a month to month basis from the beginning of the year. Where the Team have highlighted issues within their report this will be reported for information.

Garages are still a target for thieves and push bikes and tools are being stolen.
The report highlights the fact that an early call to suspicious activity can lead to the thieves being caught.
The West End team say "Anytime you see someone
who seems out of place, hanging around an isolated lane or cycling whilst
pushing another bike, there is a good chance there is something amiss, so phone
it in. We'd rather check it out and
satisfy ourselves it is innocent than miss the opportunity to get someone their
bikes back".
The local policing team are based at Whinhill and request that if any suspicious activity is seen they are contacted, either as an emergency on 999 or on the Police Scotland Service Centre at 101.
