Audi hunted by cops after stolen vehicle rams into Scots shopping centre

Police are hunting a second vehicle after a stolen car was rammed into an Edinburgh shopping centre.

Two hooded thugs made off in a getaway vehicle after a break-in at the Gyle Shopping Centre at around 2.50am on Wednesday, November 10.

A car was used to force entry to the main area before an attempt was made to access a business within.

This attempt was unsuccessful and the yobs left the scene abandoning the first car – a silver Suzuki Celerio.

Now enquiries from officers have established the vehicle had been stolen from the Stevenson Road area of Edinburgh on Tuesday evening.

This car was left behind and the two men made off in a silver Audi A5 or S5 model.

Both men involved are described as being of slim build and wearing dark clothing with a hood up and face covered.

Detective Inspector George Calder said: “Our investigation is progressing and we believe that the car may be a silver Audi S5, five-door model that was reported stolen from the Drylaw area of Edinbugh around 8pm on Friday, 5 November.

“We are carrying out enquiries to trace the movements of this car since it was stolen, and indeed where the car is at the present time. The information we receive from the public is vital in assisting our investigation and we would appreciate any information you hold.

“If you have seen a car matching this description since last Friday, or know where it may be parked then please contact us.

“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam or private CCTV footage which could help our investigation.”

Anyone with information can call 101, quoting 0246 of 10 November, or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
