Around 11.30am on Monday 10 December 2018, a man gained entry to a house on Judge Avenue Claremont by forcing his way inside. The occupant of the house was home and called police. The man left the house by jumping over a rear fence and left the area. A subsequent check of CCTV in the area showed that the man was seen getting onto a train at the nearby Loch Street Train Station.
