Woman Detained In North-East Domestic Abuse Crackdown
A 22 year old woman is in custody after a day of action against domestic abuse in Moray and Aberdeenshire.
Police targeted 55 addresses yesterday, detaining the woman on assault and vandalism charges.
An 18 year old female and 20 year old man were reported for assault and threatening behaviour respectively.
A 23 year old man was also reported for bail offences.
Detective Sergeant Kerry Rigg of the Domestic Abuse Investigation Unit said: "We target persons who commit domestic abuse and we encourage victims to have the confidence to come forward and report incidents.
"It is an issue which is often under-reported and we want to make it clear that it will not be tolerated and victims will be supported.
"There are systems in place that will provide help at home as well as guidance through any judicial processes.
"By concentrating with our partners on reassuring victims, we aim to give them the support and help that they need.
"It is very much a collaborative approach which is taken with a number of partners in the area to support those who may have experienced or are at risk of experiencing domestic abuse."
