DI Grant Pert, from Aberdeen CID, said: “I am keen to speak to anyone who has seen anything suspicious in the area, as well as anyone with information on individuals potentially trying to sell such items over the past few days.

“I would also urge members of the public to check their own outbuildings and make sure they are secure, especially at this time of year when the darker nights might embolden some potential would-be thieves.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 1199 of December 22.

Alternatively, they can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if they wish to remain anonymous.
