POLICE are hunting for three men after a “well planned” robbery saw a shop crashed into by a pick-up truck and an entire ATM machine stolen.
The group used two vehicles in the robbery – one to break through the shopfront and another to get away.
The incident was reported at around 3.55am on Monday August 18 on Main Street in Bridge of Weir, officers said.
Police Scotland reported that a Mitsubishi L200 pick-up had been seen to crash into the shop. Then three men wearing face coverings, red gloves, and dark clothing entered and took the ATM.
They left in a grey Audi S3, heading towards Johnstone, leaving the truck behind.
Detective Constable Ryan McGuire said: “This appears to have been a well planned theft and enquiries are ongoing to trace those involved.
"We believe the men may have then travelled to the Dalry area in the Audi.
“We are asking anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area before or after the theft to get in touch.
“Please also check any private CCTV footage you have to see if anything has been captured to assist with our investigation.”
Anyone who can help is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 0473 of 18 August, 2025, or make a call anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
