A gang of petrol thieves in Edinburgh have been targeting cars in a popular suburb - as local garage owners warn fuel theft is on the rise.
Several garage owners in the Leith area have warned customers after seeing more than a dozen incidents this year alone, while one claimed she'd never seen anything like it in 25 years.
One local was cruelly targeted while her dad was in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh getting a major heart operation, leaving her to fork out £500 for a hire car during an already stressful time.
