An opportunistic thief made off with a set of bagpipes and a full Highland dress outfit after breaking into a car parked in Dundee.
The car was parked in Traquair Gardens in Whitfield between Saturday June 3 and Monday June 5 when the thief struck.
They stole a set of bagpipes with black pipes and a green tartan bag, which were in an antique pine case.
A full set of bagpipes can cost hundreds of pounds, while the full Highland outfit is said to be wroth around £1,000.
They also took a black dinner suit, which was in a Slater Menswear carrier.
A Police Scotland spokesman said pawnshops and members of the public should keep a look out for anyone trying to offload the bagpipes.
A spokesman for Police Scotland’s Tayside Division said: “The bagpipes in particular are quite an unusual item to be stolen, and should raise attention if the person responsible tries to sell them on.”
One said: “There aren’t many break-ins up here.”
Another added: “I’ve not seen any police around here. I don’t know anyone who plays the pipes either.”
Anyone with any information that may be useful should contact Tayside Division on 101 quoting CR/14532/17 or speak to any police officer.
Alternatively information can be passed anonymously via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Earlier this week a 36-year-old man was charged in connection with a series of thefts from cars in the Law area of Dundee.
Several cars had been broken into.
