Police have appealed for information after a spate of attempted break-ins to garages across Aberdeen.
Reports have been received of garages being targeted in numerous areas of the city between Boxing day and yesterday including Polmuir Road, Bon Accord Street, St Swithin Street, Gray Street, Great Western Road, Queens Road and Salisbury Terrace.
Officers investigating are appealing for anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the areas in question to get in touch, and in particular any information about a blue hatchback-style vehicle which was seen in the area at the time.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Bruce Buntain said: “Extensive inquiries are being carried out in relation to a large number of garages being targeted in Aberdeen, and I would like to thank the members of the public who have provided us with information so far.
“These have been crude attempts to gain access to outbuildings, causing completely unnecessary damage and cost to those affected. Tackling acquisitive crime is a priority for North East Division under Operation Magpie and I can provide every assurance that all resources are being used to investigate these incidents.
“It could well be that others have also been targeted but have not realised yet because they may have been away over the festive period. If you think you have been affected I would ask you to get in touch.
“Anyone with information should contact Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if you would prefer to remain anonymous.”
