Two brazen thieves were caught on camera stealing a moped that a Scots dad desperately needs for work.
Kyle Butler, from Edinburgh, has been left without his transport for his job after callous crooks were captured on CCTV robbing the vehicle in the early hours.
The 24-year-old's bike was wheeled away by the thugs on Monday, April 26, at around 1.30am.
A 23-second clip captured outside his flat in Knight Crescent, in the capital's Niddrie area, shows two people turning the moped around and lifting the front wheel - which has a disk lock on it - before making off.
The devastated dad - who has a young daughter and another child on the way - says it's his only means of transport and is desperate to get it back, reports Edinburgh Live.
Kyle said: "It was my way to get to work and for getting to the shop as I have a young daughter and kid on the way so it helped for getting things quickly.
"I relied on it a lot and won't be able to afford another one any time soon, so I'm finding things hard.
"I'm desperate to get it back."
Asking anyone with information to come forward, Kyle described the moped as a WK Wasp 125 that is blue and white in colour.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident and say enquiries are ongoing.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: ""Around 5.35 on Monday, 26 April, 2021, police were called regarding the theft of a motorcycle from a car park in Knight Crescent, Edinburgh. Enquiries are continuing."
