Police launch new campaign today – Pedal on Parliament II – Sports round-up – Moonwalk 2013 – Filmhouse today
Criminals across the East of Scotland who fund their lifestyles through crime are being targeted in a major new campaign launching today.
Lothian and Borders Police, Central Scotland Police and Fife Constabulary are working together in the newest phase of the successful ‘Made From Crime?’ initiative.
It is designed to make full use of the Proceeds of Crime Act, specific legislation that allows officers to seize assets that have been purchased through criminal activity. The launch is this morning and we hope to bring you a further report later today.

You can now enter the Edinburgh Moonwalk which will take place on 8 June 2013 when many women (and some men) will dress up their bras and get out walking for 26 miles in and around the capital to raise money for breast cancer. This year’s walk will start and finish from Leith Links. More details of how you can join in here. (Although the weather this morning is not too inspiring for all the training you will have to do it must be said!)

At the Filmhouse today they are showing an Icelandic film at 15:30. In view of the weather however you may wish to take up the alternative which is to rent it online!
