Fuel thieves drill into car's petrol tank
Russell Horne, 27, woke to find his Mazda 3 sports car had been targeted in the middle of the night. He fears the thieves could have watched him fill up the tank at a nearby petrol station then followed him home.
Mr Horne, from Aberdeen, said: "I parked the car at about 7pm on the Thursday evening.

I called in a mechanic to have a look and he told me that there had been a clear hole drilled into the tank. I could hardly believe it."
Police are investigating.
