Stolen vet's van used in series of Tayside crimes

Last updated 9th Oct 2021
Tayside police are investigating a number of crimes in the region using a number of cars which are believed to be stolen - including a van from a vet's practice. The 'crime spree' took place across Dundee and Angus between October 4-6 2021.
They all involved a blue hyundai as well, which has been recovered and may have been stolen.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning a garage in Montrose's Rossie Island Road was broken into. That's where thieves took the vet's van and a black BMW, which was crashed nearby and abandoned.
Both the Hyundai and the Citreon may have been seen near the scene of various crimes.
Petrol was stolen from a Birkhill filling station on the Monday afternoon and a number of attempted thefts took place across Arbroath and Dundee that night into Tuesday morning.
Police think there may be more incidents that can be linked to the two vehicles.
The blue Hyundai was found in Dundee on Wednesday morning, but the Citreon Berlingo is still missing and was last seen the same morning at Tesco Kingsway.
A police spokesperson said: "We are following a number of lines of enquiry, but would still like to hear from anyone who may have information about these vehicles, particularly if you have seen the Hyundai between 4th - 6th, or the van any time since it was stolen on the 5th.
"Dashcam footage would be particularly welcome.
"If you have any information that could assist us, please call 101 or speak to any police officer. Also, information can be given anonymously through CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111. Our reference is incident number 0275 of 5th October."
