Driving force for Grampian/Highland operations is Project Organiser Michelle Herd, pictured here with Ian Latimer and Chief Constables of Grampian and Northern, Colin McKerracher, besides her Vaushall Corsa donated by Apache North Sea Ltd, operator of the Forties Field in the UK North Sea.

Apache's Patricia Paterson said: "We are proud to be associated with Crimestoppers and fully support their objectives of helping prevent and reduce crime in our communities. We are delighted to donate a vehicle to the organisation to assist with the good work Crimestoppers perform in our neighbourhood."

Luckily for Tommy Jardine it was only someone trying to be smart and they quickly unlocked the device.
