A CAR was stolen in broad daylight from a car park in Largs, police have confirmed.

A grey Range Rover Evoque was taken from the car park at Vikingar on the morning of Sunday, July 7.

Sergeant Donald Fisher of Police Scotland in Largs said: "A grey Range Rover Evoque which had been parked at Vikingar car park was reported being stolen during the morning of the same day. 

"Enquires are on going at this time into the circumstances and efforts are continuing to trace the vehicle."

It’s thought that the theft may be the latest example of criminals using high-tech scanning software to bypass cars’ keyless entry systems.

Similar incidents were reported elsewhere in the town earlier this year, with cars stolen from the seafront car park on April 9 and Gogo Street on April 17.
