Teen charged after damage to Aberdeenshire vehicles
The 22 incidents were all reported in Spring
A 16 year old boy has been charged after reports of more than 20 vandalism incidents in Stonehaven and Inverbervie earlier this year.
Between Wednesday 19th April and Sunday 24th April 2017, eleven motor vehicles parked on Arduthie Road, Princess Road, Evan Street, George Terrace, Salmon Lane and Carronhall, Stonehaven were variously vandalised.
Between Sunday 30th April and Monday 1st May 2017, nine motor vehicles parked on King Street, Montrose Street, Trenchard Walk and Norfolk Terrace, Inverbervie, were also vandalised.
Constable Kevin Ritchie from the North East's Divisional Alcohol and Violence Reduction Unit said: "Incidents of vandalism can cause a great deal of anxiety in local communities, especially for those directly involved who not only carry the additional burden of paying for repairs but also the associated inconvenience and annoyance. We are absolutely committed to identifying those responsible and will work with partner agencies to ensure culprits are held accountable for their actions. I would like to thank the general public for their assistance during this protracted investigation."
The youth was charged yesterday, Wednesday 13th September and will be reported to the Youth Justice Management Unit.
