Hunt for masked men after truck crashed into shop and ATM stolen in Bridge of Weir

Police are hunting a group of masked men after a pick-up truck was crashed into a shop in Bridge of Weir and a cash machine was stolen.

The Co-op store on the village’s Main Street was targeted around 3.55am on Monday.

A Mitsubishi L200 pick-up was seen to crash into the building, before three men wearing face coverings, red gloves and dark clothing entered and took the ATM.

The group left the pick-up truck behind and made off in a grey Audi S3, heading towards Johnstone.
