At least six vans have been raided in an Angus town.
The vehicles were targeted by thieves in Dunnichen Avenue, Kings Road and Montrose Road in Forfar.
Tools were taken from five Ford Transits and one Mercedes between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.
And police say there may be other thefts which they are not yet aware of.
Two men were spotted on CCTV at the van on Kings Road at about 2am on Thursday.
They were wearing dark clothes and were seen driving off in a vehicle. One of the men had a reflective stripe on his top.
A police statement reads: “Police Scotland is appealing for information about a series of thefts from vans in Forfar overnight from Wednesday, June 5 into Thursday, June 6.
