Appeal following housebreakings to shops in Aberdeenshire

Detectives are appealing for information following two housebreakings at shops in Aberdeenshire.

The first shop in Main Street, Aberchirder was broken into around 12.20am on Saturday, 14 June, 2025, and a four figure sum of cash stolen. The second shop in Commerce Street, Insch was broken into about 2.15am the same day and cash was also stolen from this shop.

Enquiries suggest three men dressed in dark clothing were in the area at the time as was a silver BMW 3 series which they may have been using.

Detective Sergeant Richard Cooper said: “Enquiries we have carried out so far suggest that both break-ins may be linked.

“I am appealing to anyone who saw anything suspicious, including any vehicles nearby to get in touch.

“Please check any private CCTV or dash-cam that you might have for information that could help with our investigation.”

Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0117 of Saturday, 14 June, 2025, or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
