‘Despicable’ caravan site break-ins

- DOUGLAS DICKIE

Officers at Police Scotland are investigat­ing five “utterly despicable” break-ins at a Perthshire caravan site.

The incidents all happened at the Aberfeldy Caravan Park over the weekend.

Stolen goods include prescripti­on medicine and electrical items.

Councillor John Duff urged people to be on their guard.

He said: “It is utterly despicable that thieves have taken advantage of the current situation to steal the hard earned property of a number of caravanner­s and cause damage to their caravans.

“If anyone saw or heard anything which might assist the investigat­ion, I would urge them to come forward and pass their informatio­n to the police.

“It is vital that we are all alert for anything suspicious. Many businesses and other premises are unoccupied at this time so please keep an eye out for them and report anything out of the ordinary.”

A spokespers­on for Police Scotland said: “We can confirm that officers are investigat­ing a total of five break-ins at a caravan site in Aberfeldy, which were reported to Police on Sunday, May 24.

“A number of items have been stolen, including electrical items and a quantity of prescripti­on medication.

“The exact times of the incidents have yet to be establishe­d, but are believed to have taken place between Friday, May 22 and Sunday, May 24.

“Anyone with informatio­n is asked to contact Police on 101, quoting incident 2009 of May 24. Alternativ­ely, you can call Crimestopp­ers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.”
