Perth FM News - 13th August 09

Perthshire school saved from flames

One of Scotland's top schools was saved from a potentially devastating fire last night. Firefighters put out the blaze in the roof of Gleanalmond college at around half past seven. Eight fire appliances arrived at the historic Perthshire school – after smoke was seen billowing from the roof. The crew's aggressive attack stopped the fire from spreading – with the least damage possible.

Witnesses sought after £600,000 jewellery theft

It's thought the salesman who had 600 thousand pounds worth of jewellery stolen from him in Perth – was being followed for weeks. A woman was seen in Timothy Hardie's jewellers when the salesman visited – and later in Oxfam in South street – where the bag was taken. She was later seen with two men - they got into a black car and drove off.

Graffiti and fly-posting could be made legal

A graffiti wall and legal fly posting could be set up in Perthshire – after councillors approved a plan to tackle the problem. A wall will be set up to allow people to practice legally – in the hope they wont deface buildings. An area will be set up for businesses to advertise legally. The report said graffiti could look young and refreshing in the right setting.
