“Our enquiries are still ongoing and I would urge anyone who may have witnessed these alleged incidents or has information about them to contact Police via the 101 telephone number or if they wish to remain anonymous to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111. I would like to thank the public of Keith for their assistance so far.
“Police Scotland is committed to tackling violent behaviour that causes alarm in our communities and it is only with the help and cooperation of local residents that we can do so.”
