Police / Investigations continue into Up Helly Aa sneak-in theft
POLICE are continuing with their enquiries into reports of a sneak-in theft in Lerwick’s King Harald Street which took place while thousands lined the streets to watch the torch-lit Up Helly Aa procession last Tuesday.
Several items were taken, including a passport and a Samsung tablet, which were held within a rucksack.
In an appeal circulated on social media, the female perpetrator is described as in her mid to late 20s, around 5’4’’ in height, with slightly unkempt dark hair and wearing a white top with a black jacket.
Chief inspector Stuart Clemenson confirmed police had received a report of the theft from an unsecured property and enquiries were ongoing.
