Man’s business targeted four times by thieves

Proprietor offers £500 for information that leads to convictions

A Dundee businessman is offering a £500 reward for information that leads to the conviction of thieves who have targeted his premises four times in a fortnight.

Ramsay McBain, who runs Ramsay Transport Ltd, also known as Ramsay Skip Hire, in Lochee, said the same thieves have repeatedly broken into the yard where the company stores its lorries.

As well as stealing keys for the vehicles and items from the cabs, including sunglasses and phones, the thieves also broke into a burger van and stole a £70 float, soft drinks and cheese.

Mr McBain said the men responsible have been captured on CCTV which is being studied by the police.

However, he is offering a “substantial” reward for information that leads to the successful conviction of those responsible.

He said: “There is a yard opposite the office where the lorries are kept and there’s also a key store.

“They’ve kicked the door down several times and have even stolen the keys for the lorries.

“They went in all the lorries taking things like telephones and expensive sunglasses then locked the doors behind them so we’re thinking they are going to come back.”

Mr McBain added the thieves show no concerns about the security measures in place.

“There is CCTV but they are blasé about it,” he said.
