Brazen Scots thief snatches £8,000 from Glasgow businessman in broad daylight

A thief has stolen a bag of containing between £7,000 - £8,000 in cash from outside a Scots business.

The incident occurred on the morning of Thursday, July 1 on Gairbraid Avenue in the Maryhill area of Glasgow.

Businessman Joe Harvie accidentally dropped the bag while walking from his car to his office.

He said: "The business takings, my guys' wages and spending money for my holiday on Saturday all gone.

"Today was bank run day it was supposed to be going into the bank.

"I saw the guy pick up something beside the car and it never dawned on me till I got inside the office that I had dropped it and by the time I got back outside he was gone."

Joe added that police have CCTV footage of the thief swiping the bag and asked anyone with information to get in touch with him.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We received a report of a sum of cash stolen from Gairbraid Avenue around 8:40am on Thursday 1 July.
