Scottish Water warns fire hydrant vandalism can cause widespread disruption and put lives at risk
Utility is urging people not to set off fire hydrants and calling on anyone who witnesses this type of vandalism to report it to Police Scotland immediately. Scottish Water is warning the Lanarkshire public that fire hydrant vandalism can cause widespread disruption and put lives at risk. Following a recent spate of incidents, the utility is urging people not to set off fire hydrants and calling on anyone who witnesses this type of vandalism to report it to Police Scotland immediately. Such incidents can cause disruption of water supply to customers, reduced water pressure or discoloured water, and localised flooding in streets. They can also result in water supplies for firefighters being adversely impacted and so hamper their ability to tackle fires, with an obvious increased risk to lives and property damage. Fire hydrants are a connection point to water mains and allow access to the water network, primarily for firefighting purposes. The frequency of fire hydrant vandalism can increase during warm, dry weather and the school summer holidays and in previous years there have been a number of incidents, particularly in the Central Belt, which have wasted the valuable time of Scottish Water workers and firefighters and distracted them from other priorities. Whenever there are a number of these incidents Scottish Water has to bring in extra resources to tackle the problem and this means its ability to deal with water-related issues elsewhere can be adversely affected. Kevin Roy, Scottish Water's general manager of customer service, said: "Some people who vandalise fire hydrants may see their actions as 'harmless fun' but that's absolutely not the case. "The reality is that homes and businesses can experience low water pressure or a loss of supply. "Also, firefighters rely on these hydrants for fighting fires and a shortage of water could endanger people's lives and property." He added: "Fire hydrant vandalism is completely reckless and selfish and communities need to help us put a stop to this behaviour before the unthinkable occurs. "We're urging people to help us tackle the problem by reporting any incidents to the police immediately." Fire hydrants can be accessed legally only by Scottish Water, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and anyone who has been given permission from Scottish Water. Vandalising or setting off a fire hydrant could lead to a fine of up to £5000, according to the Fire Scotland Act 2005, Section 23.

Illegal immigrants turned Scots home to £500k drug factory
Two illegal immigrants from Vietnam set up more than 500 cannabis plants inside a three-bedroom Dundee home. A pair of illegal immigrants turned a humble Scottish terrace house into a half a million pounds drug factory. The Vietnamese duo set up more than 500 cannabis plants behind closed doors in a quiet residential street in Dundee after sneaking into the UK. When the property was raided, the cannabis inside the three-bedroom terrace was worth more than four times the value of the £125,000 house itself. Ban Van Nguyen and Long Van Le were caught red-handed tending the huge crop of cannabis plants growing throughout the property at 2 Dighty Gardens in Dundee. Dundee Sheriff Court was told that 510 plants, with a potential value of £382,500, were recovered when the house was raided by police on 16 January this year. The duo had also harvested more than 14 kilos of cannabis with a value of £143,060 and were drying it for onward sale when officers forced their way in. Nguyen, 53, and Le, 33, admitted being concerned in the supply of cannabis and producing the drug at the property on 16 January this year. Fiscal depute Duncan McKenzie told the court: "In December 2024 and January 2025 Police Scotland received intelligence about a cannabis cultivation in a busy residential area. " Entry was forced and both were found within. Most rooms in the property had been converted into a cannabis cultivation. The bedroom upstairs was used as a drying room. "Cannabis bud was spread across the floor and being dried with a desk fan. Both were arrested. Their DNA was found on various items throughout the property. "There were no reasonable grounds to conclude either was the victim of modern slavery. Neither have any right to remain in the UK. Both are being sought by the Home Office in relation to their immigration status." Sheriff Tim Niven-Smith remanded both men in custody for the preparation of social work reports and warned them to expect to be jailed for a considerable period of time. He noted that an assessment on their background had been carried out already and it had been ruled that neither of the duo had been the victims of human trafficking. "They are often subject to threats and intimidation and are often little more than slaves for their ultimate masters," he said. "You are not in that position. "There requires to be a crystal clear message that courts in Scotland will not tolerate criminal gangs, from wherever they might originate, weaving their way into the fabric of our society and cultivating or distributing drugs, which you both did on a commercial scale. "Deterrence is an important thing for the court to consider in the length of sentence, it being inevitable in both your cases that the court shall sentence you both to imprisonment."

BBC star reveals horror after landlord recorded naked images on hidden spy cam
She claims he spiked her drink the night before she discovered the device Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BBC actress has told of her horror after discovering her landlord planted a spy cam in her bathroom. The Scots star — who has appeared in prime-time comedies and dramas — found the recording device hidden in a washing basket after taking a shower. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 A BBC actress (pictured) opened up on her spy cam ordeal as cops launch a probe Credit: Newsline 4 The clandestine device was stashed inside a washing basket in the bathroom Credit: Supplied 4 The performer's pervert landlord inadvertently filmed himself on his own device Credit: Supplied 4 The shocked star quickly removed the camera and fled the property Credit: Supplied She fled the flat before watching back the footage and finding intimate clips of herself — plus an image of the creep changing the memory card. Cops have launched a probe. Last night the telly star said: 'I was in a state of absolute shock. He filmed me when I was at my most vulnerable.' The performer told how she moved into the property in France last July after a break-up with a boyfriend. Her 40-something landlord — whom she believed was a drug user — soon seemed suspicious. The actress recalled: 'Something didn't feel right with him.' Later she found two holes drilled into the bathroom wall which she plugged with cotton earbuds. And the night before she found the recording device she claimed the sicko spiked her drink. She recalled: 'It was like something out of a horror movie. 'I always used to notice this little black dot in the washing basket across from the shower. 'I never in a million years thought he'd be spying on me. But given what had happened the night before, I went to have a closer look. 'My heart just stopped and I burst into tears. There was a green light flashing on the camera. 'I knew that it was on and I was being recorded.' Initially she remained in the bathroom and switched off the lights fearing the sicko could be waiting outside 'with a knife'. Eventually she packed a bag and fled the property before returning with cops days later. She eventually plucked up the courage to watch the video and was horrified saying: 'I was in complete shock.' Police said: 'The subject of the complaint is a violation of privacy by filming or recording or transmitting the image of a person of a sexual nature.'
