Following the recent vehicle theft in Leuchars on 1 July 2026, please see the attached letter from Police Scotland. 

In addition, Leuchars Station would like to reassure our families who live in SFA that QRF patrols will have an increased presence around SFA during the evening and overnight periods, and as an added precaution, families may also wish to look into purchasing Faraday pouches or boxes (or alternatives) for their vehicle keys. 

We encourage everyone to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity directly to Police Scotland.
