Police reflect on November

Police Scotland’s look-back at November in Kincardine and Mearns has been published.

ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR, VIOLENCE AND DISORDER:

There has been a slight decrease in the number of anti-social behaviour calls, with 41 incidents reported. Seventeen of these calls relate to youth specific calls, and 24 relate to other anti-social behaviour incidents including noise and neighbour issues.

There were 11 assault crime reports, an increase against the previous month. So far, four incidents have been detected, and reported to the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) and seven are still being investigated with strong lines of enquiry.

There were no serious assaults reported.

ACQUISITIVE CRIME:

There have been no thefts reported.

ROAD SAFETY & ROAD CRIME:

No drivers found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. There were no reported incidents of careless or dangerous driving.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & REASSURANCE:

If travelling in severe winter, tune in to the Met Office information and Traffic Scotland for public transport announcements (0800 028 1414). Tell someone your destination, route and timings. Allow extra time. Fully charge your mobile and take a charger. Pack food and equipment. Think about winter tyres, a first aid kit, battery jump leads, torch, GPS, space blanket, reflective warning signs, ice scraper, shovel for snow, warm clothes, boots, warm drink in a flask – the list could be endless.

Identify key neighbours or family who may require assistance. Have their contact numbers to hand. Offer to collect groceries or other essential tasks. Help clear their icy / snow covered paths.

DRUG SEARCH WARRANTS:

One drug search warrant was executed within Stonehaven with a positive detection for controlled drugs.
