CRIMINALS have had rich pickings from a popular secluded Kinross-shire beauty spot again.

At Burleigh Sands, near Loch Leven, on Monday afternoon another car parked at the spot was broken into and valuables stolen.

The theft took place between 3.50pm and 4.15pm when the window to a Mazda car was smashed and a handbag left in the vehicle grabbed.

HUNGRY thieves with a taste for crime visited a building site in Blairgowrie and stole the workers’ food.

Between 2.30pm on Friday and 7.30am on Monday the builders’ groceries were stolen from the construction site on Maple Place.

EFFORTS were made to enter a flat on Perth’s King Street while the occupant nipped out to the shops.

Between 1.30pm and 1.45pm on Tuesday the window to a ground-floor flat was smashed and a sash window pulled up by several inches.

Luckily entry wasn’t gained.

A WOMAN was hurt when her handbag was snatched as she walked along Langside Road in Perth on Tuesday afternoon.

At 2.50pm the woman was approached from behind by a man who wrenched her bag from her hand, causing the lady to fall.

The bag-snatcher then ran off towards Strathtay Road.

He is described as aged 18-25, 5’7”, of slim build, had a gaunt face and shaved dark hair and was wearing a black and white checked jumper.
