Three men have been arrested in connection with a spate of thefts in Aberdeen.
Electrical equipment, clothing, golf equipment and push bikes, worth thousands of pounds, have been stolen in recent weeks.
Police stepped up patrols to tackle the crimes, and urged anyone who saw anything suspicious to come forward.
Last night, officers confirmed three men, aged 19, 21 and 30 had been reported to the procurator fiscal in relation to theft.
They also urged residents to take simple precautions to protect their property – such as locking their cars and doors and securing their valuables.
Chief Inspector Graeme Mackie said: “While it is fantastic to see results and stolen property reunited with owners we are again reminding property owners to take care of their property and secure their valuables.”
