Cops are investigating after a restaurant in Lanarkshire was targeted by thugs for the second time in two months.
San Vincenzo, Main Street, Bothwell , was left vandalised after a car smashed into the rear of the building at around 3am on Saturday morning.
A small fire also had to be extinguised.
Officers are now looking to trace a light coloured pick-up which was seen in the area at the time.
In July a white pick-up truck was caught on CCTV reversing through a rear window and into the restaurant before speeding off.
At the time restaurant bosses said they believed they had been targeted in a bid to drive them out of business
Following the attack, the restaurant posted an appeal for witnesses on their Facebook page.
It read: "Dear customers and friends of San Vincenzo. Once again we have been targeted to drive us out of business.
"We survived and due to the kindness and quick response of our builder we were back open by 10.30am that morning.
"This white pick-up truck drove on purpose through our restaurant, can any one recognise the vehicle?
"Please either contact San Vincenzo or Hamilton Police Office. Any help would be greatly appreciated."
Police Scotland's appeal for information on the latest attack attracted messages of support from customers.
One woman said: "Someone obviously has a grievance with the owners of this restaurant. Absolutely shocking."
Another added: "This is getting out of hand. Disgraceful."
Detective Sergeant Robert Andrews said: "We have conducted local inquiries and reviewed CCTV footage and we're keen to speak to anyone who has any information about a light coloured pick-up truck around the time of the incident.
"We believe the vehicle drove along Ferry Road and onto Blantyre Mill Road around 3am.
