Police continue jewel theft investigation
Tayside police were once again in South Street yesterday. Their return was part of the ongoing investigation into last week's jewellery theft. 600 thousand pounds worth of jewels were stolen from a salesman while he was in the Perth Oxfam Store. Officers were trying to attract new witnesses and information. They are trying to trace a dark coloured, old style BMW that was seen in the area at the time.
Wind Farm could affect local wildlife
Objectors to the building of a Perthshire Wind Farm say it could affect local wildlife. Ecologist Nigel Rudd spoke yesterday at an ongoing inquiry at Amulree Village Hall. He says there would be a knock on effect to birds and animals if the Logiealmond turbine development goes ahead. This inquiry is looking at the appeal against the decision by Perth and Kinross council to refuse planning consent for the wind farm.
