Four people have been arrested following a break-in at a north-east shop today.
It happened at the Costcutter in Newburgh and is being linked to a crash on the old A90 at around 4am.
Four people, three men and a woman, were taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary after a grey Honda CRV crashed into heavy machinery used to resurface roads.
Their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Detective Inspector Stewart Drummond said: “Our inquiries are ongoing into both of these incidents and I would urge anyone who was in the Main Street area of Newburgh or on the old A90 at Balmedie around the time of these incidents to get in touch.
“These two incidents are believed to be linked and four people are currently arrested in connection with the alleged break-in at Costcutter.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.”
