Thieves target Milngavie post office in daylight robbery

Police are on the hunt for calculated thieves who targeted a post office in Milngavie yesterday (Thursday, September 5).

The incident, on Craigash Road, was reported around 3.35pm after two men entered the store - within a Londis branch - and stole around £200 in cash.

The pair left the scene in a silver Honda Civic and, according to Police Scotland, then got into a second vehicle at College Gate in Bearsden, this time a silver Vauxhall Astra.

Thankfully, no one was injured in the incident.

Detective Sergeant Colin Kilgour, of Govan CID, said: "We would like to speak to a woman who was in the post office with her son at the time of the incident.  We are also appealing for anyone who saw the men involved before or after the robbery, for anyone who noticed either car in the area, or anyone who saw anything that they thought was suspicious in the area.”

Both men are described as white and between 5ft8 and 5ft10 in height. The first was wearing brown and white trainers, a dark tracksuit, blue Russian style hat, grey gloves and a scarf covering his face. The second was wearing a blue long-sleeved Puma zip top, dark hat, grey and blue trainers and yellow workman’s gloves.

DS Kilgour added: “Anyone with information should contact us on 101 quoting incident number 2295 of 5 September 2019 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
