A Dundee garage owner faces a £20,000 bill after vandals went on a tyre-slashing spree.
Cowgate Motors on Clepington Road was targeted in an attack overnight on Monday which left all 45 vehicles on the lot damaged.
Every one of the 180 tyres on the vehicles was slashed, with some costing as much as £300 each.
Owner Gordon Sinclair, 56, intends to offer a reward for information leading to the conviction of the culprits.
“I’ve got 45 cars in my lot and every one has been damaged,” he said.
“Every single tyre has been slashed. I came in to open up and it was immediately obvious that the cars had been vandalised. But it took a little longer to realise the extent of the damage.
“It must have taken them some time to do it – it really feels like we’ve been targeted. I’ve no idea who would do this.”
The dealership has had to close, with none of the cars in a sellable condition.
Mr Sinclair said he hopes to be able to open again soon but will have to wait for the results of the police investigation before he can sort out his insurance claim.
He also said the vandalism couldn’t have come at a worse time of year, with Christmas only weeks away.
A spokeswoman for the force said: “Police Scotland is making inquiries after vandalism to tyres on cars at Cowgate Motors on Clepington Road and also the surrounding areas.
“Officers are reviewing CCTV and are keen to speak to two youths who were seen in the area at the time. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.”
