Operation Moravia update

November 22nd, 2011 Posted in Grampian | Comments Off

A further seven people have been charged over the weekend as part of a continuing crackdown on drugs, anti-social behaviour and violence in Moray.

The arrests bring the total number of people charged during the latest phase of Operation Moravia to 20.

Operation Moravia is a Moray-wide initiative with the latest phase, which began on Thursday, focusing on the Lossiemouth and Fochabers local policing area.

Inspector Alistair Robertson, the Local Policing Team Inspector, said:  "Operation Moravia gives our communities a voice and allow them to stand up to those who are showing utter disregard for the communities in which they are committing crime, whether it be by dealing drugs or acts of vandalism.

"Over the weekend a dedicated team of officers have been conducting both high visibility and plain clothed patrols in the Lossiemouth and Fochabers area.

"My team are determined to tackle the issues our communities have told us are those most likely to affect their quality of life. These issues include drug dealing, vandalisms and disorderly behaviour associated to some licensed premises."

Inspector Robertson continued:  "Over the weekend, seven people were charged with various offences including theft from a car, vandalism, the breach of an anti-social behaviour order and inconsiderate driving.

"A further nine drivers were also educated in the area regarding minor road traffic infringements and alcohol was seized from six youths who were under eighteen.  Drug stop searches were also carried out as part of the operation.

"Enquiries are continuing into a number of other offences which may result in further charges in the coming days."

If anyone has information they wish to pass on about crimes that have occurred in their communities or about criminals active in these communities, please call in at your Local Police office or telephone Grampian Police on 0845 600 5 700.  Alternatively, if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
