A WOMAN has been charged in relation to a string of thefts in Alloa this month.
The 29-year-old was arrested and charged after police received numerous reports of a female entering insecure vehicles and stealing property including bank cards.
Those stolen bank cards were then used at local stores to purchase goods.
After receiving reports on Tuesday, May 24, officers from Alloa’s Divisional Alcohol and Violence Reduction Unit (DAVRU) took ownership of the enquiry and conducted the relevant investigation.
Further incidents were uncovered during the course of the investigation and the woman was charged in relation to 14 separate incidents of theft and fraud.
Police have issued a reminder to the public to ensure vehicles are secured when not in use and any valuables are not left inside.
