A series of housebreakings in Aberdeen are being treated as linked after nine properties in the city were targeted over two days.

Police received reports of a house being broken into on Rosewell Terrace by three suspects dressed in black and wearing balaclavas around 6.40pm on Friday, November 6.

A quantity of jewellery and cash was stolen from the property.

The second incident took place on Heathryfold Circle between 4.50pm and 9.25pm on Friday, during which gold, silver and a car key were taken.

A four-figure sum of cash and jewellery were stolen from a property on Long Walk Road between 7.40pm and 8.05pm on the same day.

Further break-ins were reported on Saturday, November 7, including an incident on Buckie Road at around 6.40pm, in which three suspects fled in a black Audi S3.

A second property on Buckie Road was broken into between 1.30pm and 7.20pm.

Cash and jewellery were taken from both addresses.

Homes were also broken into on Mill Drive at around 7pm, Cornhill Drive between 6.30pm and 9.15pm, and Stonehaven Road between 7.30pm and 11.30pm.

The ninth break-in was reported between 8pm and 8.30pm on Saturday, with cash being taken from a property on South Walk.

Officers are treating the incidents as linked, with investigations still ongoing.

Detective Sergeant Kim Patterson said: “We understand that these incidents will be concerning for the community, and our enquiries are ongoing to trace those involved.

“I am appealing to anyone at any of the locations across Aberdeen that has seen something suspicious over the weekend and have yet to speak to police to get in touch.

“I’d also appeal to those with dash-cam footage or private CCTV to review this to see if it has captured anything that could assist with our investigation.

“We would be particularly interested in speaking to anyone who has seen a black Audi S3 at any of the locations around the time the break-ins are believed to have happened.

“Increased patrols will be carried out across the community, and anyone with concerns or information is encouraged to approach these officers.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3135 of November 6, 2026.

Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
