Woman arrested over break-ins at Aberdeen homes
A 42-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with a series of burglaries in Aberdeen.
They happened in the city centre and Rosemount areas between Friday, 11th October, and Sunday, 1st December and involved three incidents of theft by housebreaking, two attempted housebreakings and a further theft.
She is due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Christmas Eve.
Detective Sergeant Erika Griffiths says: "Attempted housebreaking and housebreaking causes misery in our communities and it is important for householders and business owners to make sure their homes and premises are secure.
"Our advice is to keep buildings locked at all times and not to leave valuables where they can be seen, including cash. High value items can be marked with a UV marker pen or security DNA marking kit which can help when it comes to recovering stolen property.
"Anyone who sees anything suspicious should call 101, or 999 if it is an emergency. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
