Antisocial behaviour, Violence and Disorder:
Acquisitive Crime:
At the end of July, a report came in regarding an attempted Housebreaking at Cranford Road. The resident noticed on her doorbell camera, what she believed to be a youth trying the doorhandle in the early hours of the morning. The footage did not capture any images of the face and as such the resident didn’t want Police to attend, the same night there was an insecure car entered into on Craigton Road, a purse with Credit cards was taken, however the cards were cancelled before they could be used.
At the start of August, a resident of Countesswells Crescent received notification that there were suspicious transactions on her Amex credit card. On checking there were several transactions with Wizzair for flights. The resident contacted the card provider who cancelled the transactions and are carrying out their own internal investigation. This highlights the importance of regular checks on credit and debit card accounts and not waiting till the end of the month.
On the night of the 7th of August there were reports of insecure vehicles being entered and reports of a suspicious male on Morningside Crescent and Deeside Gardens, unfortunately these were all reported retrospectively in the morning, when residents were checking their doorbell activations.
Road Safety & Road Crime:
On the 1st of August, Police attended a collision between a car and a cyclist. Thankfully the cyclist was uninjured. The driver was shaken by the incident but was not charged with any offences.
