“At present I don’t know what the motive for this crime is but I want to emphasise that beyond anything, the most important thing here is to get this device back to help keep people safe. I will have officers on patrol around Oldmeldrum engaging with the public and I would urge parents to speak to their children and ask them if they know anything about the theft of the device.”
