A devastated Vauxhall Corsa owner in Midlothian has spoken of how his car was stripped for parts as it was awaiting repair after striking a pothole.
Chris Petrie, says that his car was targeted by thieves that appear to be running rampant across Edinburgh and the Lothians, targeting Corsas for parts that they can sell. The 26-year-old suffered from a rotten run of luck after hitting a pothole before being robbed.
He says that his car was parked on Park Crescent as it awaited a mobile tyre fitter to come and repair the damaged tyre. Unfortunately they had to cancel their original appointment on Wednesday 4 and had to rearrange for Friday 6.
