On the 5th of October, Co-op on Great Western Road was targeted by a male who ran in and grabbed a number of food items before running out the store. The staff did not challenge the male and passed a description. Unfortunately he was not traced and CCTV of the incident didn't identify the male.
Co-op on Countesswells road reported a male and female entered their store on the 11th of October and stole items worth £175 before walking out, making no attempt to pay. The female is described as white, slightly chubby, wearing all grey clothes. The male was simply described as 6 feet tall carrying an Aldi bag. Officers made an initial search of the area before attending and noting statements. The CCTV has been circulated to officers to obtain an identification, but as yet it remains open and undetected.

A resident of Airyhall Drive advised that overnight of the 8th October, items were stolen from her vehicle which was parked in her drive. The resident admitted that she had not locked the car. The items that were stolen were a pair of high end sunglasses and some coins. This was obviously an opportunistic theft, but highlights the need to make sure that residents lock and secure their property, as this type of incidents increase in the darker winter months.
