A Carnoustie business has been broken into five times in the last seven weeks, costing the owner thousands of pounds.
Carnoustie Tyres in Barry Road was targetted again on Sunday with the business’s car wash and air / vacuum machine broken into and damaged.
Business owner David Tindall said he is “absolutely sickened” by the latest break-in.
Police appeal
Police Scotland are now appealing for help to try to trace two teenagers they believe to be responsible.
Speaking on social media Mr Tindall said: “I am absolutely sickened at the fact we have had our car wash and air / vacuum machine broken into yet again .
“That’s now five times in the last seven weeks .
“I’m seriously considering removing them. There is never more than a few pounds in the machines but the cost of the damage is now in the thousands. ”
Mr Tindall added: “The latest break in happened on Sunday at 10pm and the CCTV footage show two youths causing damage and trying to get into the machine.
“I’m hoping someone recognises them and gets in touch with their names or information so we can at the very least shame them and their parents as there is no excuse or justification for this criminal behaviour.”
