Alcohol worth nearly £66,000 has been stolen during a break-in in Glasgow.

Two men were seen entering a compound on Cambuslang Road on Saturday night, before making off in with the booze in a trailer attached to an HGV.

Police are investigating, with officers also reminding people that if they are offered cut-price alcohol for sale, it could be stolen.

Detective Inspector Stuart Gillies said: "One suspect is described as being of slim build, average height, wearing a dark jacket, dark trousers, white trainers, dark face/head covering and dark gloves.

"The other suspect is described as medium build, short in height, wearing blue jeans, dark trainers or boots, orange hi-vis jacket, blue sleeves underneath, striped beanie-style hat and black gloves."

He added: "Those responsible will be looking to sell on the alcohol. If you are offered alcohol at a discounted price, you would be wise to suspect it has been stolen. It is a criminal offence to buy stolen goods."
