Police are hunting two yobs who broke into a shop in an early morning raid. CCTV footage shows the pair breaking into Nickel & Dime on Carnoustie High Street in Angus at around 4am today, Wednesday July 20.
The owners of the store took to social media to try and track down those responsible. The two youths can be seen clutching items as they take handfuls of goods from the shelves.
The crooks, who smashed down the shop's front door to get in, targeted vapes and lighters, making off with hundreds of pounds of products in the direction of the Aboukir Hotel.
Police Scotland have launched a probe into the break-in, and have urged any witness to come forward.
Posting on Facebook, Nickel & Dime bosses wrote: "As many of you are aware our shop was broken into last night around 4:05am. The two boys in this video ran away with over £300 worth of disposable vapes & lighters, as well as our front door smashed. If anyone recognises these two please get in touch with the local police or us directly."
