AN ABERDEEN hotel boss has appealed for the return of a gargoyle stolen by revellers.

Julie Lyon, of Ferryhill House Hotel, was dismayed to find Esmeralda the Gargoyle had been taken from its usual resting place at the establishment’s bar.

CCTV images showed the hefty ornament being carried out by three men on the driveway, heading towards Bon Accord Street.

Julie said: “I don’t think there was any malice in it, and I don’t want anyone to get in any trouble. We just want someone to hand her back to us.”

I think they should concentrate the search at The Bells The Bells.

You've got a bad picture of the reality.

 

They have no names yet. The evidence may be black and white but you can't see it without full colour.

I reckon the guys are being framed! You never know, they might end up making a film about this!

A man has been caught speeding at 94mph in a 50mph area during a police crackdown on driving offences.

The 20-year-old has been reported to the procurator fiscal for dangerous driving, police said.
He was caught on the A944 between Kingswells and Westhill near Smiddy Brae in Aberdeen at the weekend.
The operation, aimed at targeting dangerous driving, resulted in 12 motorists being reported for a range of offences.
These included failing to wear a seatbelt, parking on zig-zag lines, speeding and using a mobile phone while driving.
Community police officers targeted areas including the A944, Milltimber Brae, Malcolm Road, the Lang Stracht, the junction of Hazledene Road and Queens Road and Contlaw Road/Culter House Road.
Sgt David Cowie, who led the operation, said: "We will continue to run operations with the help and support of residents and to reassure the public that we will be cracking down on people driving in this way.
"Those who drive irresponsibly cause a nuisance and more importantly also pose a risk to members of the public. By working with the community we can target areas which are most at risk."

POLICE today issued a warning to the public to be on their guard after three card skimming devices were found within six days at an ATM machine at a bank in the Rosemount area of Aberdeen.

A spokesman for the force’s Aberdeen Division said: “Three devices have been found on the Bank of Scotland ATM at Midstocket Road between 19 and 24 May and enquiries into this matter are on-going.”

He continued: “We would urge members of the public to be cautious when using cash machines in the area. There are some simple steps you can take to protect yourself from becoming a victim of skimming devices, such as covering your pin number.

“If you believe you have become a victim of a card skimming device, you should report it to your bank in the first instance.”

The spokesman added: “Anyone who may have seen anything suspicious between Sunday 19 May and Friday 24 May in the Midstocket Road area is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

Two men are to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court after an incident at a primary school.

Police were called to Hazlehead primary school in Aberdeen at lunchtime on Monday.
They were responding to reports that pupils had been fired at with a paint gun.
Police Scotland have said that the men, aged 20 and 21, have been charged and a report has been sent to the procurator fiscal.

 

Anyone on here own a paint gun?

More than £25,000 worth of counterfeit goods have been seized during a police operation in Aberdeen.

Officers targeted a property in the Torry area on Monday, where they recovered a quantity of branded clothing and electrical accessories with a potential retail value of £25,300.
Various other items, including jewellery and handbags, were also seized by police during the raid.
Sergeant Allen Shaw, of Police Scotland, said: "This warrant was executed as part of our on-going work to tackle drugs, violence and anti-social behaviour under Operation Maple.
“The recovery of goods was significant and shows the success of this operation on a wider scale, with regards to tackling crime.
"We successfully recovered these items as part of our work with Trading Standards and the results will hopefully act as a deterrent to those committing these types of crimes; highlighting that they will not be tolerated.
"It is important that the public understand the, at times, complex make-up of serious and organised crime. Those involved in counterfeit goods are equally involved in supporting organised crime. Many might think a bargain designer item is just that, however it is often linked to other types of criminal behaviour."

Got to go to Perth for this gem:

 

 

A man scraped his face along a wall to convince police he had been robbed because he was too afraid to tell his partner he had spent the housekeeping money.

Garry Gannon, 37, admitted wasting police time by reporting he had been attacked and robbed of £70.
Gannon told his partner the tale hoping she would accept it, but she called his bluff and told him he should report it to the police.
But when officers arrived at his home, Gannon's facade cracked and he admitted making up the story to avoid his girlfriend's wrath.
Gannon, of Princes Street, Perth, admitted wasting police time on February 9 by falsely representing he had been robbed of £70 cash in Brahan Terrace, Perth.
Fiscal depute Robbie Brown told Perth Sheriff Court: "The accused had spent the money he was supposed to use on household matters, on other things.
"He made up this story for his partner to excuse the fact he had spent the money in a way which was not intended. She then said 'you better phone the police.'
"Rather than tell her the truth he did that. He said he had been stopped and robbed by three persons. He appeared to have an injury but later admitted he had dragged his face against a wall, which produced grazing.
"He eventually admitted the incident had not happened."
Solicitor Billy Somerville, defending, said: "He did phone the police and make the complaint. When they came to the house he admitted immediately that was wrong. A few hours of police time were wasted."
Sentence was deferred on Gannon for him to be of good behaviour.

 

It's like something out of The Broons :laughing:

 

I wonder if he spent it in the bookies or the boozer?
