A man is to appear in court on 20 different charges after Police confirm a string of break-ins and thefts in the North East.

The 32 year old has been charged in connection with 11 break-ins and nine driving offences.

He's accused of stealing license plates and fuel.

The incidents allegedly took place in Aberdeenshire last month.

Garioch Area Inspector Jon Millar said: "I would like to thank the public who have provided us with invaluable assistance and information throughout these inquiries."

He added: "I would also like to take this opportunity to remind the public to always be vigilant when it comes to their valuables, and to ensure their businesses, homes, garages and vehicles are always locked and secure.

"With the lighter nights, I would urge people to always ensure you secure your doors - front and back - even if you are at home or in the garden. Please take simple steps like using good quality locks to reduce your chances of becoming a victim of crime."
