Owners of a Glasgow restaurant have been left devastated after a 'knife-wielding' thug ransacked the city centre venue during the coronavirus lockdown.
The team behind Mini Grill on Bath Street say most of their stock was stolen as the brazen thief smashed through the restaurant on Monday, after they were forced to close the doors on Friday due to COVID-19.
Police have now launched an enquiry into the incident as Mini Grill offer a reward for any information, with CCTV having caught the suspect in the act.
They posted on Facebook: "Talk about being kicked when we're down?
"After closing the doors of our beloved Mini Grill on Friday due to the global virus epidemic, we took some time to reflect and weigh up our options.
"We returned on Monday to find our window had been smashed and our downstairs restaurant ransacked with substantial damage and most of our stock stolen.
"We are now appealing for your help at this time. If you recognise this knife-wielding cretin or have seen anyone trying to sell booze for a heavily discounted (knock-off price) in the city centre, or have any info to help us, please message us."
A Police Scotland spokesperson confirmed to Glasgow Live: "Police enquiries are at an early stage following a report of a break-in at premises on Bath Street, Glasgow in the early hours of Monday 23rd March.
"The incident was reported was report to police on Friday, 27 March. Anyone with information should contact Govan Police Office through 101."
