More than 10 iPhones and several vapes have reportedly been stolen from a shop in Perth.
My Fone on South Street was broken into on Monday morning.
Owner Latif Akar arrived to find police already inspecting the damage to his store – which included a broken lock on the door.
Mr Akar, 50, told The Courier his shop was plundered at around 3.30am on Monday.
He said: “The barber shop across the road tried to call me this morning.
“When I came in at about 9.20am, the police were already here.
“Hopefully they will catch them soon. The cheapest phone they took was over £160 and they took vapes as well.”
Police probe Perth phone shop break-in
Mr Akar says he is going away for a break on Tuesday and now feels he won’t be able to enjoy it due to the incident.
He added: “I’m going on holiday tomorrow and I have to sort my door because it’s broke.
“It’s very hard to get somebody. I’m not going to enjoy my holiday as I have to get the door fixed first.
“It’s not nice. I work hard and then someone comes and steals your money.
“It shouldn’t be like that.”
Police have launched a probe into the break-in.
A spokesperson said: “Around 8.50am on Monday, June 3, 2024, officers received a report of a break-in at a premises on South Street, Perth.
“Inquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.”
