A question for our Orkney-based followers:

We're hoping to hold a Q&A session where we can talk to people about their concerns around illegal drugs in the county and answer some questions.

Which kind of event would you be most interested in attending?

SCAM ALERT

Be very careful if you receive a WhatsApp from an unknown number claiming to be a family member asking for money. It could be a scam.

1 of 2 - We are looking for help with a theft of a WHITE VAUXHALL COMBO VAN.

It was parked at Great Western Road pointing towards the pier. We believe it was taken between 3am & 4am on 17/07/22.

The van was found a mile or so from the Norseman Village facing Finstown.

If you can’t see an officer in hi viz with a speed gun pointing at you, it’s unlikely you’d see the vulnerable person or a child at the bus stop. 58mph in a 40 limit - 1 ticket issued £100 and 3 points. An MOT significantly out of date £100. #opCedar

#Sanday visit completed yesterday.

This time we had an enquiry in relation to some missing driods however these weren’t the droids we were looking for.

We’re currently looking to trace @MarkHammil for comment.

We were in #Westray on Monday. Brilliant visit to the school! One person charged with no insurance. In Westray you don’t need an MOT (but your car must road legal), you can drive with just a provisional, but you MUST have insurance. No insurance is 6 pentaly points and £300.
