A new initiative has been launched by Police Scotland and a number of partner organisations to try to tackle in Angus’s rural communities and enhance cime prevention.

As part of The Angus Partnership Against Rural Crime, officers will conduct a range of partnership activity alongside 12 other local and national organisations to deal with offences ranging from theft of agricultural machinery, vehicles, tools, livestock or fuel to fire-raising, housebreaking, fly tipping and vandalism.

The collaborative approach will involve the support and assistance of Angus Council, Forestry and Land Scotland, Neighbourhood Watch (Scotland), Zero Waste Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue, Scottish Water, British Horse Society, Heritage Scotland and National Farmers Union (Scotland).

Police Scotland Inspector Mahboob Ahmad, from Carnoustie Police Station, said: “Angus is a beautiful part of Scotland but sadly is often a target for criminals in our rural communities.
