Police in Perth are appealing for information after five Royal Mail vans had their tires vandalised in the car park of the Bredablane Terrace delivery office last weekend.

Officers say the incident occurred between 6pm on Saturday, 13th August and 6am on Monday, 15th August, 2022.

Constable Frank Shek, Perth Police Station, said: “This was obviously a deliberate act. The damage runs into hundreds of pounds not to mention the inconvenience to the mail delivery in the area.

“Officers have been checking local CCTV since the vandalism was reported, however, would appeal to anyone who may have been in the area at the time, who may for example have dash-cam footage, to get in touch.

“The sorting office is in a business complex but it is also near a gym and a supermarket and is on the route to a residential area, so although it appears the sorting office was closed when the vandalism took place, it’s possible people visiting the gym of the supermarket may have seen someone acting suspiciously in the area.

“If you have any information that would assist officers with their enquiry, then please call police via 101 quoting reference number 0757 of Monday, 15 August, 2022. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111."
