Community Police Report: January 2025
There were 31 calls made to Police during the month of January.
​
These calls related to road traffic issues, neighbour disputes, disturbances, assault, theft from a motor vehicle, theft by housebreaking, vandalism and noise complaints.
​
From these calls, 17 crime reports were raised. Of these crimes, 8 remain undetected with enquiries ongoing.
Most notably, the theft by house breaking offence remains undetected whilst awaiting forensic results. It is believed this was a targeted crime whereby suspect(s) were looking for specific items and there is nothing to suggest that this is a wider safety issue.
​
Road traffic issues and complaints regarding the use of quad bikes were raised on more than one occasion and is an issue which we will be targeting, especially coming into the better weather.
​
PC Alison Thomson and PC Neil McBain have attended at Stepps Primary School to discuss the ongoing issues with traffic during pick up and drop off times.
They have also arranged to deliver inputs to pupils regarding internet safety.

*** Reporting Incidents via the Police Scotland 101 System ***
Residents concerned about local incidents, minor crime or disorder are encouraged to report via the non-emergency number 101. This can be done anonymously. It is important that incidents are reported and logged as this creates a record and evidence of an ongoing issue which may require additional resources.
Use the non-emergency number and call 101 for situations that do not require an immediate police response.
This will help keep 999 available when there is an emergency, for example, if a crime is taking place, or someone is in immediate danger – for these types of incidents, always call 999.
