On Saturday 1st August a house was broken into in Aberdeen while the resident was quietly enjoying a game of bowls. When the house owner returned later that afternoon he discovered the back door and security gate broken, he immediately went to the police community station to report the ‘break-in’. When he entered the office, he was surprised and very grateful to be shown that all the belongings that had been stolen from his house had already been recovered. This occurrence shows the extreme resourcefulness and awareness of Aberdeen Police Constable Sambudla.
On Saturday afternoon while on duty, Constable Sambudla became aware of the suspicious movements of a man loitering around a few properties. The Constable watched the activity of this man who disappeared for a time. When he next encountered the loiterer, he was carrying a smart leather case. He appended the then "suspect" taking him back to the community centre, and found that the leather case was full of articles this man would not normally be in possession of.
The police Constable and an Aberdeen Detective from the C.I.D. Branch then searched the illegally entered property, taking finger prints, assessing the damage and taking a statement from the house owner. The suspect is awaiting court hearings and will be kept in custody until that time.
