At last week’s Community Council meeting the issue of break-ins was raised with attending Police reps.
Fortunately, it is important to emphasise that crime of any kind is almost a non-issue in this part of East Lothian.
The modus operandi of this current perpetrator is to take advantage of unlocked car or home doors, taking anything of value.
More recently a number of people have reported their bikes being stolen and we have fresh accounts of people discovering that valuables or cash have been taken from their homes whilst they slept. According to Police the person behind this activity takes full advantage of the fact that many houses are simply left unlocked.
The advice is simple. Do lock garages, car doors and most importantly your home’s doors and windows at all times.
If you have recently lost anything valuable please report this to the local Police. You can email the Fa’side community police here.
