Police Report - February 2024
The latest Police report has just been delivered by the Local Policing Team:
"This report covers progress we have made in dealing with your priorities for the Braeside & Mannofield Community Council over the last month.
Community Policing Priorities
Antisocial behaviour, Violence and Disorder:
Police continue to receive reports of anti-social behaviour regarding a resident of Thorngrove Court. We continue to work with Anti-Social Behaviour Unit of Aberdeen City Council and the relevant housing officer to come to a solution. I would encourage the residents effected to continue to call in, so that the incidents are logged, and we can highlight to the relevant partners.
A resident of Airyhall Avenue called and reported that overnight into the 29th of January two of his van tyres appeared to have been cut with a knife. The van was parked outside his property, and he can provide no reason why his vehicle would have been targeted.
On the 2nd of February reports of a group of youths causing a disturbance on the Cricket Pitch at the Cricket Club, officers attended and established that the youths were from a function within which had spilled outside. The licensee was made aware of the noise complaint and advised that they will try and keep people within so that the neighbouring residents aren’t affected.
Acquisitive Crime:
In the early hours of 23 January, a house was entered on Wellbrae Terrace, the thieves entering via an insecure back door, and took money and car keys for the car that was in the driveway. Several Police Units attended and made an extensive search of the area. The vehicle was later traced.
There was another theft of a vehicle on Gordon Road, in the early hours of the 24th of January. This was linked to the theft the previous day, and a number of similar crimes across the Westend and Hazlehead area. CID Proactive Unit took ownership and resulted in 2 males being arrested and held to appear at court.
On the 2nd and 5th of February officers were called to a report of a theft by shoplifting at Tesco. On the first occasion the male had been prevented from stealing by the staff, and was refusing to leave, on that occasion Officers assisted staff and removed him from the store. Three days later he returned and stole a quantity of food and alcohol. The male was easily identified and attempt to trace him have been unsuccessful, however a case for an arrest warrant has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
On the 7th of February, Police were requested to assist Scottish Fire and Rescue with a garage on fire on St Johns Terrace. Officers attended a and secured the scene. A joint fire investigation believed it to have been started wilfully. Enquiries were conducted and as a result a juvenile male has been reported to the Childrens Reporter.
Road Safety & Road Crime:
On the afternoon of the 28th January, CPT officers supported by Roads Policing Units attended a report of a collision between a car and a motorbike on Morningside Road. On arrival it was established that the severity of the collision was not as high as originally reported. Officers carried out the relevant procedures on both drivers and allowed them both on their way after being checked over by the Scottish Ambulance Service.
Community Engagement & Reassurance
Police attended an incident on Hammerfield Avenue on the morning of the 16th February, whilst this resulted in a Policing presence for the following 24 hours. This was to allow an investigation to take place in a safe environment for the attending officers, and there was no risk to the wider community. As enquiries are ongoing it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.
