Stolen car used in Aberdeen shop raid
Police think a stolen car was used in a break in at the Spar in Peterculter last night
Police think a stolen car was used in a break in at an Aberdeen shop last night.
The Spar on North Deeside Road, Peterculter, was broken into at around 2.15am.
A window at the front of the shop was damaged and alcohol worth more than a thousand pounds was stolen.
Officers believe there were two men involved and that they travelled to the area in a black Audi Q5 which was earlier stolen from the Ury Meadows area of Inverurie.
But they don't think the vehicle was used to smash the front of the store.
Detective Constable Emma Low who is investigating the incident said, "At this stage of the investigation, we are concentrating on the collection and viewing of CCTV footage, conducting house to house enquiries and forensic examinations are being undertaken.
"I would remind owners of vehicles to make sure they keep their vehicles locked when not being used and that they remove all valuable items and where supplied by the manufacturer, they remove any emergency keys supplied with their vehicles.
"I would urge any member of the public who believes they have information relating to these crimes to contact Police Scotland on 101, or alternatively they can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
