Police Report - August 2024
The following has been received from our Local Policing Unit regarding activities in the Braeside and Mannofield area this month:
Antisocial behaviour, Violence and Disorder:
In July there was a report of cars parking up in Viewfield Road, the resident believed that the persons within were smoking Drugs. Officers attended and no vehicles were traced, and regular patrols have been carried out to discourage any further incidents.
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 6th of August, Staff at the Coop on Great Western Road reported a male for shoplifting, who they know to be previous incidents. Officers attended and identified the male, attempts to trace him were unsuccessful and a report was submitted to the Procurator Fiscal for an Apprehension Warrant to be issued.
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.
On the 19th of July Police attended at Craigton Road after a report of a 2 car collision, with 1 passenger trapped. On arrival Police arrival, it was quickly established that the circumstances were not as serious as initially reported. Officers stayed to assist with traffic management.
