Theft of fish
Police Scotland is investigating the theft of 16 fish from a pond at a house in Grahamsfield, Kirkpatrick Fleming. The theft occurred sometime overnight Sunday 31 May/Monday 1 June 2015. The fish are orange goldfish, black and orange Koi and large orange carp, have a value of around £400. This theft follows a similar theft of fish from the Springfield area of Gretna on Tuesday 21 April 2015. That time about 15 Koi carp with a value of around £500 were stolen from a pond at a house in Newton Square in Springfield. That theft took place sometime between 0530 hours and 1830 hours that day.
Constable Michelle Hamill from Police Scotland at Gretna Police Office said “this is a very unusual type of theft for our area, and certainly to have two similar thefts, only a few miles apart and in such a short timescale does add to the theory that they may be linked. We are however keeping an open mind and would ask anyone who may have any information which may assist in these enquiries to get in touch with me though 101.
