Acquisitive Crime:
We continue to encourage us all to remain vigilant, to report suspicious activity timeously via 101 or 999 if a crime is in progress. Can I also urge us all to ensure we are locking our vehicles, please check and check again as above highlights the opportunism of these criminals.

Reporting a hate crime
We will listen to you, provide support and take appropriate action. Here is a summary of what will happen when you report a hate crime:
1. We will listen to you, your report will be investigated and we will offer you victim support
2. You will be contacted by an officer either by phone, in person or by your preferred method of contact
3. Police Scotland will take appropriate action and you will be kept informed
4. If Police Scotland has enough evidence, the person responsible will be charged with the offence and reported to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service
5. If there is not enough evidence we will still record your report as a hate incident and offer you support*
6. Once your case is with the Crown Office & Procurator Fiscal service you will be kept updated on the progress of your case.
*It is important to still report non-criminal hate incidents. This helps us get a clearer picture of what is happening in Scotland and where to focus our attention.
