A group of yobs left Scots garage owners furious after vandalising windows of their vehicles and filling them with foam.
Staff at Auto-Technical Edinburgh on Bankhead Terrace were alerted to the incident on the morning of Sunday, July 17.
The youths used a fire extinguisher to shatter the glass and spraying their contents inside.
The trio didn't just target cars belonging to the garage but also those of customers, Edinburgh Live reports.
Auto-Technical Edinburgh had been closed on the day but a passer-by spotted the damage caused and alerted the business.
Staff said that the damage caused by the boys, who were caught on CCTV, had a "massive impact" on the garage.
They added: "They came at around 8.45am and then they actually came back in the afternoon, you can see them on the camera walking past again, but this time there was more of them.
"Now we have had to work on cleaning each of the cars up, some of them were filled with foam from the fire extinguisher so we need to clean that and the glass out and then replace the windows."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Police in Edinburgh received reports of several vehicles being vandalised in the Bankhead area, between Saturday, 16 July, and Monday, 18 July. Enquiries are ongoing.”
