Police are appealing for witnesses after dozens of cars were vandalised in Angus and Perthshire in recent weeks.

Tens of thousands of pounds worth of damage has been caused to vehicles in the incidents.

Damage to over 20 cars has been reported with several vehicles being scratched in Arbroath in the early hours of Monday.

Cars in Horologe Hill, Camus Road, Lamley Terrace and St Abbs Road were targeted by vandals in the latest incident, with the cost damage running into thousands of pounds.

Around 15 cars had paintwork scored overnight on Saturday, April 25 in the Letham and Tulloch areas of Perth.

Police in Blairgowrie are also investigating damage to over 30 vehicles parked in a number streets in the town centre and also into Rattray between the evening of Friday, April 17 and the morning of Saturday, April 18.

Superintendent Graeme Murdoch said, “Vandalism is a despicable crime that has a damaging affect on our communities. Those who carry out such crimes clearly have no regard for those affected by their malicious acts.

“It is extremely alarming that residents across Tayside are faced with paying hundreds of pounds each, to repair damage to their vehicles.

“Vandals may think that this is a victim-less crime, but they are mistaken. The impact of this crime not only has significant and unnecessary financial costs, it can also have potentially harmful emotional or even physical consequences, eroding the confidence and security of vulnerable people in our communities.

“Those responsible for these crimes should ask themselves how they would feel if their property, or that of their family, was targeted in this way.

“No matter what form it takes, vandalism will not be tolerated. It is a crime that Police Scotland takes very seriously and we would ask residents not to suffer in silence. Residents are encouraged to report anti-social behaviour or vandalism to police as soon as possible.

“Police Scotland continue to work closely with local authorities and other partner agencies to tackle vandalism and other types of anti-social behaviour. This involves not only enforcement and the gathering of information, but working with communities to identify issues in local areas and to provide support and advice.

“Where we trace someone involved in or responsible for an act of vandalism, we will take immediate and appropriate action.

“Anyone wishing to report an incident or who has information that could assist Police Scotland with their enquiries should call 101. Alternatively information can be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111”.
