Six figure sum of whisky stolen from Paisley yard

Whisky worth a six-figure-sum has been stolen from a yard in Paisley.

It happened around 2am on Thursday 17th October at the secure yard belonging to Chivas Whisky Brothers on Abercorn Street.

Officers are eager to trace a white-coloured cab with a blue trailer carrying a red container which was last seen driving on Renfrew Road towards the M8 shortly after 2am.

The blue trailer is marked AD168 on the rear and the red container is about 20ft in length.

Detective Inspector David Wagstaff of Greenock CID said: "This was clearly a targeted and co-ordinated theft that has been carried out with the plan to sell the alcohol on illegally.

"I would ask anyone who was in the area between 1.20am and 2.20am on Thursday and saw the vehicle, or anything suspicious, to contact us.

"If you were driving in the Paisley area, or on the M8, between these times and may have seen the vehicle or captured this on dashcam we'd urge you to get in touch as soon as possible."

Those with any information can contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 3502 of 17 October 2019, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
