iStockA man has been charged in connection with a series of break-ins in Aberdeenshire.
The series of housebreakings and attempted housebreakings occurred overnight from Wednesday, October 30, to Thursday, October 31, in the Newtonhill area of Kincardineshire.
Officers have arrested and charged a 49-year-old man in connection with the alleged incidents. He is due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Friday.
Sergeant Malcolm Kinross said: “Attempted housebreaking and housebreaking causes misery in our communities, and it is important for householders and business owners to make sure their homes and premises are secure.
“Our advice is to keep buildings locked at all times and not leave valuables, including cash, where they can be seen. High-value items can be marked with a UV marker pen or security DNA marking kit, which can help recover stolen property.
“Anyone who sees anything suspicious should call 101, or 999 if it is an emergency. Information can also be passed anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
