Thieves make off with ATM after crashing truck into shop

The gang fled in another vehicle after crashing the Mitsubishi L200 into the store

Thieves made off with an ATM after crashing a pick-up truck into a village shop in Renfrewshire.

The Mitsubishi L200 pick-up smashed into the store on Bridge of Weir's Main Street at about 03:55, before three men - wearing face coverings, red gloves and dark clothing - emerged and took the cash machine.

The gang fled the scene in a grey Audi S3, heading towards Johnstone, leaving the pick-up truck behind.

Police, who are appealing for information, said they believed the men may have travelled towards Dalry after the raid.

Det Con Ryan McGuire said: "This appears to have been a well-planned theft and inquiries are ongoing to trace those involved.

"We believe the men may have then travelled to the Dalry area in the Audi."

Anyone with any details is asked to contact Police Scotland with information.
