Tools and gardening equipment worth around £10,000 have been stolen from a rural property in the Udny area of Aberdeenshire.
The theft took place some time between 3pm on Monday and 6.45am the following day, from a shed in the Tillery area.
Among the items taken were a ride-on lawn mower, two strimmers, two lawn mowers, a chainsaw and general tools.
Investigation officer PC Chantelle Muñoz said: “It is likely that a vehicle was used to transport the items from the property.
“If anyone was driving in the area of Tillery at Udny and noticed anything unusual then I would ask for them to get in touch.
“Similarly if you’ve been offered cheap tools or gardening equipment for sale please let us know.
“I would remind rural property owners to be vigilant for potential thieves of high value items and to keep all items securely and if you hear or see anything suspicious call 101.”
