Reward for stolen ship propellers

A reward of £5,000 has been offered by a company after ship propellers worth tens of thousands of pounds were stolen from its yard in Aberdeen.

The brass, six-foot wide, four-blade propellers - weighing one tonne each - were taken from Seletar Shipping on South Esplanade West.

It is believed they may have been stolen for sale as scrap metal.

Grampian Police, who have appealed for information, said the culprits must have used a lorry with a crane.
