PC Neil Fraser, from the Kincardine and Mearns Community Policing Team, said: “This crime happened overnight and I would appeal to anyone who may have seen these vehicles, or has any information, to contact Police Scotland.
“I would also like to remind the public not to take any chances with their security and to take steps to discourage criminals.
“Keep your vehicles locked and your homes secure, even when you are inside. Keep your valuables out of sight and remember that a simple act such as keeping your car keys out of easy reach of your door can be vital.
“This will remove any easy chances for thieves.”
