A teenage boy has been arrested and charged in connection with shoplifting in Glasgow.

On Wednesday, officers executed a search warrant on an address in the Mosspark area of the city.

A 13-year-old male was arrested and charged with a shoplifting offence that occurred on August 21.

The stolen property was recovered from the property and returned to a retailer in the city centre.
