Police are appealing for information following the theft of a mini-digger and trailer from a car park in New Byth.
The yellow and black JCB standard 8018 mini-digger was taken from a car park in the Old School Road area sometime between 6pm and 11pm on Sunday.
The digger, with the registration RV 63 NBE, was secured on a plant trailer with a padlock around the hitching point. The trailer had the registration of WM 65 SYG.
Detective Constable Jon Pinder at Fraserburgh CID said: “Door to door inquiries have been carried out and CCTV in the area is being reviewed.
“At this time we are keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a dark coloured Ford Transit style van in the area.
“We have reports of this van, which has a light coloured stripe around it, being seen driving into New Byth around 9.50pm that night, not towing anything, and then again at around 10.16pm, towing a trailer with a mini digger on it, heading north onto the B9027.”
Information can be passed to police by calling 101.
