Appeal after car stolen and crashed in Aberdeen

Officers in Aberdeen are appealing for witnesses after a car was stolen and driven through the city at speed.

Around 7.45am on Friday, 25 July, a white Suzuki Swift was taken from the Springhill Terrace area of Aberdeen.

The car, which had its back window smashed, was then driven throughout Aberdeen in an erratic manner at high speed.

The driver failed to stop for officers in the Cardens Knowe area of Aberdeen and, following a pursuit, crashed on an unnamed road off the B9000 near Pitmedden.

The 17-year-old driver was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for treatment to what are described as minor injuries.

He was also arrested in connection with road traffic offences and enquiries are ongoing.

Inspector Steve Manson said: "We are appealing to anyone that witnessed this vehicle prior to the crash to get in touch with police.

"Anyone with private CCTV or dashcam footage should check to see if they captured anything that could help with our enquiry."

If you can help, contact 101 quoting reference 0703 of 25 July, 2025.
