More than £40,000 of jewellery stolen in Maryculter
It was stolen in broad daylight from a house in Maryculter
More than £40,000 worth of jewellery has been stolen in broad daylight from a house in Maryculter.
It happened between 1.00pm and 6.00pm on Sunday afternoon.
It's right next to the River Dee, and the police want to speak to anyone fishing or rafting who saw anything suspicious.
The jewellery included necklaces, rings and watches.
It happened less than a week after another high-value theft of jewellery in Muchalls.
Investigating officer Terry Woods said: "It was good weather on Sunday and so there would been a lot of people heading in and out of Aberdeen during the afternoon. "Also there may have been people rafting or fishing on the River Dee who may have information that can assist. "If you noticed anyone acting suspiciously in the Maryculter area on Sunday afternoon or have any information that could assist the investigation please call Police Scotland on 101 or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. "I would also remind homeowners to ensure that all windows and doors are locked when leaving their property unattended. With the current warm weather, although it is tempting to leave a window open when out, it does give thieves a way to get in. To ensure you don't become the victim of crime, lock your property securely."
