Police seek information after car crime incidents

Two incidents of vehicular damage — one potentially to gain access to the vehicle — have lead to police appeals in the last month.

This morning, Monday July 28, between 11.10 and 11.30 a blue Skoda Octavia/Scout had two deep dents made in it’s rear nearside quarter panel and sustained damage to it’s paintwork, while parked at Flett and Carmichael veterinary practice, Hatston, Kirkwall.

While in Stromness between 11pm on the Friday July 4, and 1pm the Saturday July 5, a grey Mercedes parked on Southend Road sustained damage to the drivers side door. It is thought someone may have tried to gain access to the vehicle.

Police in Orkney have said any information regarding either incident would be greatly appreciated and can be passed on directly to the Kirkwall Police Station.
