Crime File - Recent thefts in the Clydesdale area

Even scenic areas like Lanark Loch can be the scene of a crime Police Scotland said this week.

They are eager to hear from any witnesses to a large theft of diesel fuel from a storage unit at the lochside sometime on Sunday.

With the quantity of fuel taken - 350 litres - it is thought the theft would have taken some time to commit and a large vehicle used to take the haul away.
