CRIME APPEAL Police Scotland, Tayside Division is appealing for information after thieves attempted to steal a white-coloured Ford Fiesta sometime between 8pm on Monday 6 October and 2pm on Tuesday 7 October in Dundees Kilberry Street. Also in Kilberry Street, sometime between 4pm on Monday 6 October and 2am on Tuesday 7 October the window a black-coloured Vauxhall Corsa was smashed. Nothing was stolen from the car. There was also damage to several cars in Alpine Terrace and Couper Street in Dundee. In appealing for information that could assist enquiries into these crimes, Tayside Division asks drivers to take every possible precaution to deter thieves. Ideally, items of value and personal belongings should never be left within an unattended vehicle and they should certainly never be left in open view. If car owners are not able to take their property out of the car, they should at least hide it away from prying eyes and lock it out of sight in the boot. While this is not a failsafe deterrent against crime, it denies the would-be thief the opportunity to window shop. Drivers should look around before moving items from car seat to boot and try and ensure they are not being watched. They should always ensure that their vehicle is secured when left unattended. Doors should be locked and windows closed. Most vehicles these days have alarms and/or immobilisers as standard. Anyone whose vehicle does not have this type of security measure should give consideration to fitting one or both. Anyone with information that could assist Tayside Division should call 101, or the charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. Sometime between 6.30pm on Wednesday 8 October and 7.45am on Thursday 9 October, thieves attempted to break-in to a unit at Downfield Autobody in Dundees Strathmartine Road. They made off emptied handed. Anyone with any information that may be useful should contact Police Scotland, Tayside Division on 101, or any police officer. Alternatively information can be passed anonymously via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
