Police probe after thieves smash their way into city takeaway

More than £700 — including cash destined for charity — has been stolen from a Dundee takeaway.

Officers have launched a probe into the incident at the Golden Star restaurant in Teviotdale Avenue, Dundee.

The force believes the incident happened some time between 2:30am and 3:30am on Wednesday, March 14.

The roller shutter to the door of the premises had been blocked, preventing it fully closing.

It was then forced using a car jack or similar implement, before a glass pane in the door was smashed to gain entry.

A three-figure sum of cash was stolen.

Officers would like to trace a man, described as about 5ft 9, stocky build, wearing dark clothing and a balaclava, who was seen acting suspiciously in the vicinity at the time.

Anyone with information that could assist with inquiries is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or speak to any officer.

Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
