POLICE are appealing for information following a high value theft at a local building site.
The incident happened sometime between 12pm on Sunday, June 14 and 7.30am on Monday, June 15, near to Whiterow when a number of items were stolen estimated to be worth around four-figures.
Police Constable Megan Green of Forres Police Station confirmed enquiries are ongoing and urged anyone with information or who may have been in the area and saw anything suspicious to contact police.
She said: "Although the site was secured, I would also like to remind businesses and contractors to review their security. Make sure that property and equipment is secured as thoroughly as possible and do not leave valuable items unattended and in plain sight, particularly in remote areas. It is worth considering security cameras or lights which act as a relatively simple deterrent against thieves.
"I would also ask business who may have had equipment stolen or who may have concerns about suspicious activity around their sites to report issues to police as soon as possible. This type of crime will not be tolerated in our community and I would like to provide reassurance that any such reports will be dealt with swiftly."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 0732 of Monday, June 15 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
