CCTV shows yob’s bid to break-in to social hub
Appeal to catch culprit
Bosses at a social enterprise have “had enough” after another attempted breakin at their High Street premises.
Tsukure Hub was targeted yet again by a brazen crook who rattled front doors before trying to kick their way into the Ayr venue that hosts a community cafe, radio station and events space.
Shocking CCTV footage shows the young man try to batter down the entrance about 4.30am on Saturday, March 12.
The man first knocks on the window before starting his attack as he desperately tries to gain entry.
The suspect, wearing a hooded jacket, then tries to unlock a padlock holding the door together but after several attempts fails and walks away.
Adam Short, co-founder of Tsukure Hub, says he has had enough of attacks on the social enterprise which was started in 2019.
Last year new windows were left damaged after vandals targeted the Hub.
Adam said: “The door is completely battered, I don’t even know what else to say about it.
“The whole frame is twisted, it’s an aluminium frame.
“These costly attempted breakins keep happening, we have had enough. I have three citations for me to be a witness for things that have happened down here, it is becoming a full-time job becoming a witness or reporting things to the police.”
Sergeant Roy Williams, of Ayr Police Office, said: “We can confirm that enquiries are ongoing following the reported attempted break-in to a premises on High Street, Ayr, which took place in the early hours of Saturday, 12 March.
“Anyone with information is urged to call police on 101, quoting incident 0976 of March 12.”
