The owner of factory repeatedly targeted by firebugs has come under fresh pressure after photographs of people on the roof emerged – just weeks after he was ordered to get round-the-clock security.
Ian Suttie, who owns the Broadford Works, was served with a dangerous building notice after a blaze took 50 firefighters more than 40 hours to extinguish last month.
The notice requires Mr Suttie to bring in 24-hour patrols and increased security around the perimeter.
But nearly a month later, the shock new image shows people have been able to gain access to the site.
Police confirmed they received a call about people in Broadford Works and they attended at the scene but no one was found.
Mr Suttie could not be reached for comment last night.
An Aberdeen City Council spokeswoman said: “A dangerous building notice, under the terms of the Building (Scotland) Act 2003, was served on the site owner of Broadford Works on June 2.
“The provision of 24-hour site security was due to be completed (on Friday) and the other works are ongoing with completion required by June 29.”
Local councillor Bill Cormie said: “It happens all the time, people going out and in.
“Sadly, admittedly, it’s a difficult site to secure but NHS Grampian have done it with Cornhill Hospital – they have 24-hour security.
“People are scaling these buildings, they are taking their lives in their hands.
“I imagine it would be very unsafe going into the site itself.”
