Officers are appealing for information after an object was thrown through the window of a hotel in Insch.
The incident happened some time between 7.20 pm on Monday evening and 7.00am Tuesday morning at The Station Hotel on Commercial Road.
PC Lewis Moir of the Garioch Community Policing Team said: “Vandalism and antisocial behaviour will not be tolerated.
“The owners of the hotel are in the process of refurbishing the premises and so it is disappointing that someone has chosen to cause damage to a local business which will benefit the community in the long term.
“If anyone noticed anything suspicious in or around the area of Commercial Road, Insch, between these hours, please call Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident 0485 of 27 March.”
