Bosses at the B&M store in Elgin have vowed to foot the bill to repair after its sign fell off and landed on two cars.
Drivers were shocked to return to the store’s car park at Springfield Retail Park on Sunday to find their cars damaged and in need of repair.
Half of the store’s entrance sign had fallen off hitting the vehicles parked below.
The incident happened following a weekend of harsh weather conditions at the hands of Storm Bert.
Yellow and amber weather warnings were in force across parts of the north and north-east bringing snow, ice and strong winds.
