£2k clothing haul taken in home raid

POLICE are investigating after a man’s flat was broken into and clothes reportedly worth about £2,000 were stolen.

Robbie Lynch, from Dallfield Court, discovered his door had been kicked in and North Face clothing taken after returning home shortly before 5pm on Friday.

He said he is already looking for a way to move out of the building in the wake of the break-in.

The 21-year-old said: “It looks like whoever has come in here has just used brute force by kicking the door in.

“The house wasn’t turned over as such but they’ve just gone into my drawers and taken a load of North Face clothing which I’d just recently purchased.

“I had been away out in the afternoon and came back just after 4pm to find the door badly damaged and a load of my clothes stolen.

“All in all I reckon there has been £2,000 worth of clothing – jumpers, T-shirts and joggers.

“Thankfully anything else of any value wasn’t taken.”

Dundee City Council workmen have since visited to repair the door, which was left badly damaged.

Robbie added: “The council have come and fixed the door this week but it was left in some nick.

“It had actually damaged the wall quite badly as well because of the force used.

“Unfortunately my neighbours haven’t heard anything in connection with what happened, but it’s certainly pretty brazen that someone has come in at this time of day and done this.

“My door wasn’t secured properly until recently so I had to take my other valuables to my sister’s just to make sure they were secure.”

A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: “Around 4.25pm on Friday November 20, we received a report of a break-in to a property in Dallfield Court, Dundee.

“Officers attended and inquiries are ongoing.”
