Police have issued a public appeal after independent used car retailer Murray Motors captured CCTV footage of a vandal attacking 13 vehicles with paint stripper in a late-night attack.

Footage from the dealership site and MOT centre in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, shows a hooded man climbing over a fence to enter the premises before roaming around the site pouring a substance onto various motors.

Another video shared via Facebook, shows a garage boss describes the damage and said the business had been targeted for decades.

“Some damage has been done again,” he said.

"Paint stripper, the usual. eating away at the paint. 13 cars have been done, some are worse than others."
