Aberdeen break-ins police investigation, Digi Mart USA News (Aberdeen, Scotland): Nine break-ins in Aberdeen are being investigated by police, who believe the incidents are linked.
The first incident happened on Friday evening, when a property on Rosewell Terrace was broken into. Three suspects dressed in black and wearing balaclavas escaped with jewellery and money.
Police said a further eight break-ins took place over the weekend, and described the incidents as “concerning”. Reported incidents included Heathryfold Circle, where gold, silver and a car key were stolen on Friday, and Long Walk Road, where a four-figure sum of money and jewellery was taken on Friday evening.
On Saturday, several properties were targeted. On Buckie Road, three suspects used a black Audi S3 during one incident, and money and jewellery were taken.
Another property on Buckie Road was broken into later the same day, with money and jewellery again stolen.
Further Saturday incidents were reported on Mill Drive, where three men in dark clothing were seen leaving and money, jewellery and electronics were stolen; Cornhill Drive, where money and jewellery were taken; Stonehaven Road, where money and jewellery were again stolen; and South Walk, where money was stolen.
Officers said they are linking the incidents and will carry out increased patrols. Detective Sergeant Kim Patterson said inquiries are ongoing to trace those involved and acknowledged the concern the incidents will cause the community.
Patterson appealed to anyone who has seen something suspicious at any of the locations over the weekend and has not yet spoken to police to get in touch. Residents with dashcam footage or private CCTV were asked to review it for anything that could assist the investigation.
Police said they would be particularly interested in hearing from anyone who saw a black Audi S3 near the locations around the times the break-ins are believed to have occurred.
