A video has emerged of an unidentified man trying his luck with car doors and property in a north-east town.
The video, captured on a CCTV camera outside Macduff man Matthew Watt’s home, shows a white male walk up to a red car and open its passenger-side door in the early hours of this morning on Skene Street.
When he appears to find nothing worth taking, he tries the door to the home before making his way back down the drive way and onto the street.
Today, Mr Watt said nothing was taken from his home but the would-be thief tried a second car out of view of the camera before leaving the scene.
He added that he was aware that others on Skene Street were also targeted.
“I wasn’t robbed, but he attempted my two cars and my door handle,” he said.
The attempted robberies took place just 24-hours after it was reported locally that a 94-year-old woman was robbed in the Macduff area while she slept.
