Police Scotland launches Operation Quarterlight Police Scotland has launched Operation Quarterlight, a national campaign to tackle car crime and vehicle theft across the country. Operation Quarterlight will be implemented throughout Scotland to identify and target those responsible for vehicle break-ins and thefts. Each week, across Scotland, since November 2014 more than 70 vehicles have been stolen. In addition, each week, more than 230 vehicles have either been broken into or had items stolen from them having been left insecure. Officers will also focus on the prevention of vehicle crime by engaging with partners, key stakeholders and members of the public. By changing habits, and working in partnership, vehicle crime can be prevented. Assistant Chief Constable Campbell Thomson said: “Police Scotland is committed to keeping people safe. Local policing is at the heart of all we do, and officers right across Scotland will be targeting criminals who commit car crime. “Operation Quarterlight is about preventing vehicle crime, and targeting those responsible. I would say this directly to those intent on committing vehicle crime in Scotland – if you engage in such activity, we will use every resource at our disposal to trace you, arrest you and bring you to justice.” Well be providing more updates as the campaign moves forward.
