During our campaign to tackle doorstep crime, officers arrested over 200 individuals and detected more than 1,000 offences. Heres an example of just one of those offences: A doorstep criminal who targeted residents in Edinburgh appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff court from custody after carrying out substandard and over-priced work on 14 properties. Along with one other man, he gained £25,000 in total and was arrested and charged by police in connection with multiple frauds, along with over 40 charges in relation to consumer protection offences that were identified by Trading Standards. We also seized a number of assets belonging to him, with further requests for the forfeiture of cash totalling almost £100,000 through proceeds of crime legislation. Goes to show that crime never pays. Theres lots of useful info on our website to help keep you and your loved ones safe from doorstep crime:
