Police have smashed a gang of eastern Europeans who were suspected of targeting properties in Highland towns. The Press and Journal reported this week that organised groups of criminals had been blamed by police for a spate of break-ins across the north. Up to 50 incidents had been reported in recent weeks, with Chief Superintendent Julian Innes revealing that targets had been “planned and researched” – with thieves “casing the joint” before moving in.
