Area Inspector Kay Macrae, based at Dingwall, said : “We continue to work with our partners and communities in relation to drug related criminality.

“I would encourage members of our communities to get in touch with their concerns.”

How can you get in touch with police?

She continued: “There are a number of ways this can be done, many anonymously, detailed below.”

  • Contact police on 101 or using the “Contact Us” form on the Police Scotland website https://www.scotland.police.uk/secureforms/contact/
  • Report anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers 0800 555 111.
  • Get and give information about crime 100% anonymously though Fearless which is a dedicated young person’s charity. Reporting crime is easy at fearless.org , fill in their simple online form without fear of having to reveal your identity. https://www.fearless.org/en/give-info
  • You can also complete our online survey, Your Police Survey to highlight areas of concern and good practice, to help us improve our policing services in our communities.

This week community councillors in Oban complained that using the 101 number was delaying local officers picking up drug dealers, due to call handlers’ lack of knowledge of the town’s geography.
