Police are hunting vandals who cut the brakes on 10 cars in Glasgow's southside.
The vehicles, including mobility cars and work vans, had their anti-lock braking systems tampered with in Langside Avenue and West Avenue, Viewpark, between August and October this year.
Police said they are attempting to establish why someone would commit these 'reckless' acts and are appealing to anyone who has been affected to come forward.
Constable Neill Campbell, Community Policing Team, Bellshill, said: “We are urging people to contact police if their vehicle has been tampered with. Our understanding is that if the anti-lock braking system is not working, a light will appear on the dashboard alerting you to the fact. “Again, we have been advised that the vehicle’s brakes will still work, although with a reduced capacity. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is designed to stop your car from skidding when you brake sharply."
Police said there does not appear to be any link between those involved.
Constable Campbell added: “Why someone would commit this reckless act has still to be established. There doesn’t appear to be any link between anyone involved other than they live in this particular area.
“Officers have attended local community meetings to advise of the vandalisms and have been carrying out enquiries in the area since it was first reported to police. Local CCTV and doorbell footage has been checked in the streets affected but so far no one has been seen at the vehicles.
"We have had no reports of this happening anywhere else in the Viewpark or wider Lanarkshire area. At this time, it appears to be completely random but concentrated in this particular area. “Officers will continue to patrol the area but would appeal to people
