Police Scotland’s report for September in Kincardine and Mearns has been issued today.

Antisocial behaviour, Violence and Disorder:

There has been a slight decrease in the number of antisocial behaviour calls, with 23 incidents reported. Ten related to youth annoyance. The majority of calls related to noise in the form of loud neighbours / music being played.

There were 14 assaults, which is an increase on the previous month. Of those, 13 are detected and the remaining has a positive line of enquiry. There was one serious assault which has been detected.

Acquisitive Crime:

There have been 15 thefts, four are detected. There have been no reported housebreakings.

Driving:

One report was submitted for drug/drink driving; the accused had 44mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath against the 22mcg limit.

There has been one instance of dangerous driving and it has been reported to the procurator fiscal for consideration of prosecution.

No reported incidents of careless driving for September.

Covid-19:

Compliance with the Government’s regulations and guidance is still at a good level within Kincardine & Mearns. There have only been a few minor issues regarding large numbers gathering and all have dispersed without resorting to tickets. The 4 Es (Engage, Explain, Encourage and Enforce) are still being employed by officers, and seems to be a successful approach at this time.

During the lockdown in Aberdeen, more of the Community Policing Team were deployed to make licensed premises checks in case there was irresponsible management of the premises and failure to adhere to the track and trace protocols. Most premises had systems in place, although not necessarily following the same format.
