A Perthshire family has been left shaken after masked robbers evaded a security system to break into their garage and steal an e-bike worth over £10,000.
Jayson Dempsey, his wife Lorna and their two teenage children were asleep when three intruders prised open the metal door of the garage beneath their Scone home, creeping below a level that would set off sensors.
They eventually set off a burglar alarm but footage shows they got in and were actively trying to get through the reinforced garage door for about 20 minutes before being detected.
As well as the Dempsey’s extensive home security, the e-bike was chained and bolted to the garage floor.
Despite this, the intruders managed to flee with the bike and one of the men is seen on exterior video making off on it.
Police were there in 10 minutes but the after-effects of the break-in have been hard on the family.
“I’m gutted,” said dad Jayson (44).
Mum Lorna (45), an early years care inspector, told the PA: “My heart was beating out my chest when the alarm went off and we saw pictures.”
She added that her 17-year-old son was angry and their 13-year-old daughter was so traumatised she has been unwilling to sleep in her own room, which is above the garage, since.
“She now feels unsafe in her own home,” said Lorna.
The family’s security system was triggered at 2.40am on May 27 when an intruder, who had apparently taken care to crouch at a low level to avoid cameras, stood fully upright and triggered a motion sensor.
A man caught on camera is seen with his face covered by a balaclava, holding a torch. A second male is believed to have been in the garage with him.
A third man had been positioned outside as a look-out.
Jayson said: “It’s very upsetting for everyone. I guess the one good

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Singer-songwriter Brandy Clark has enjoyed triumphs recently on two fronts. Ten years of work on the score for her first Broadway musical, “Shucked,” paid off with a Tony nomination and a Drama Desk Award win for her and score co-writer Shane McAnally. And the Nashville resident’s self-titled fourth album, which found her friend Brandi Carlile moving into the producer’s chair, got the kind of great reviews that augur for more Grammy nominations (on top of the 10 nods she’s already picked up over the years). While she was making one of her many visits to New York, Variety caught up with her for a Facetime feature to discuss both her new Warner Records album, one of the year’s best, and the hit musical, which has a cast album of its own. The joint timing is coincidental, of course (“Shucked” was originally tagged for a 2020 opening, with an out-of-town run in D.C. that was just about to begin when the pandemic kicked in). That she gets to talk about two home runs at once makes her career seem far from anything that ends in “-ucked,” unless lucked applies.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor “Euphoria” actor Jacob Elordi and Zachary Quinto star in “He Went That Way,” a film based on the wacky true story of a celebrity animal trainer (Quinto) and his TV chimp Spanky, who spent three days with a serial killer (Elordi) in 1964. While some press reports have described the film as a queer project, Quinto tells me we won’t be seeing him and Elordi steam up the screen: “I wouldn’t say it’s an overtly queer story, but I will say that there are undertones of both emotional and physical tension between these two characters.” The actors became close during filming. “We talked a lot about his desire to do theater,” Quinto recalls. “I was like, ‘Go do a play in London. Go do a play in New York. That’s where you really cut your teeth.’ I’m sure we’ll see him onstage at some point.”
