“If something looks out of place, seems a bit unusual or just gives you the feeling that something’s not quite right, then call it in to Police Scotland,” urges Detective Inspector Dean Little.
Over recent weeks Police Scoland have seen a spike in break-ins to business and homes A spokesperson Said “We believe this is down to teams of organised travelling criminals from outwith the Dumfries and Galloway. We suspect from our investigations, at least two of these break-ins have been carried out by the same people, who have returned to target the region again.
We will continue to work away in the background to identify and bring those responsible to justice, however you can help and that’s why I’m asking everyone to pay attention to strange faces or vehicles that they see in their neighbourhood.
Very often those who would break into our homes and property carry out some form of recce of the area prior to carrying out the crime. If you see someone sneaking around, make sure you contact Police Scotland on the 101 number, or if it is an emergency, through the 999 number.
A call to report such behaviour is never a wasted call, and if made at the time, gives our officers a chance to check the matter out there and then, as opposed to learning about it after the crime has been committed.”
