Police Scotland looking to trace taxi driver to aid investigation into burnt out stolen car

Police in Moray are looking to trace a taxi driver who may be able to assist them with their investigation into the theft of a BMW car in Findochty on Sunday 2 February.

Police officers believe that after 5pm on Sunday, a blue BMW 1 series car was stolen from Reidhaven Street, Findochtey and was later found burnt out in Alice Littler Park, Aberlour, in the early hours the next day.

Constable Kerryanne Johnstone, Buckie Police Station, said: “Officers have been carrying out enquiries in the area and from information gained so far, we are keen to trace a taxi driver who picked up three men in Aberlour near to Victoria Terrace around 10.25pm on Sunday night.

“We are checking local taxi companies but would still ask the driver to come forward as his information could be very helpful to our enquiry.

“We would also like to hear from anyone who may have seen the car or was in the area and anyone acting suspiciously around it to contact Buckie Police Station via 101. Please quote reference number 289 of 3 February.”
