A 12-YEAR-OLD boy has been reported for a string of vandalisms and anti-social behaviour offences in Keith.
This follows an operation during November involving a team of officers and led locally by Constable Emily Graham.
The boy has been reported to the Youth Justice Management Unit for 23 incidents that occurred in Keith between August and November 2015.
Sergeant Teresa Clark, who led the initiative, said: "Operation Regard was launched across Moray last month to prevent vandalisms from taking place and to pursue any offenders.
"Following concerns raised by the Keith community in particular, a dedicated team was tasked with investigating numerous complaints of vandalisms and anti-social behaviour in the area.
"Vandalism may appear to be a lower level crime but it affects the quality of life for everyone living and working in our communities. The impact is not just financial for those affected.
"Members of the public can be reassured that any we will investigate any incidents that are reported to us and we will robustly pursue offenders, making sure that they face the consequences of their thoughtless actions."
Anyone who has concerns about vandalism and anti-social behaviour can contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if you wish to remain anonymous.
