Police are investigating a break-in at a garage in Newbigging, Angus, over the Easter weekend.
The incident occurred at Pitairlie Garage at around 4.15am on Sunday.
Officers are now trying to trace two men seen on CCTV entering the business premises.
They are both described as being under the age of 25.
One was wearing a black puffer style jacket and black trousers during the incident, while the second is described as wearing a dark jacket with a hood and dark trousers.
A short time after the break-in both males were seen fleeing the property in the direction of Sanderson Place.
Owner, Stephen Higgins, told The Courier the pair smashed their way through a large double glazed window at the front of the property to gain access.

He added: “That triggered an alarm which alerts both us and the police and we were both on site within a few minutes of it going off.
“Thankfully nothing was stolen but we have the inconvenience as well as the significant cost of repairs.
“Our own security cameras have captured the two men in the work shop and staff area before fleeing the building not long after.
“CCTV footage has now been handed over to police and we are hoping that will help identify those responsible.”
Ring doorbell appeal
Police are now urging anyone who may have seen the duo to come forward.
PC Evan said: “I am appealing to anyone who saw anything suspicious and may have information that could assist with our enquiries to get in touch.
“In addition anyone with private CCTV including ring doorbell camera’s that could help with our investigation should contact 101, quoting crime reference CR/0043445/23.”
