Stolen garden tools returned to their owner in Bearsden

Thieves broke into the garden shed on Thjrsday, July 23 and took a lawnmower, hedge strimmer and chainsaw.

A dog walker saw the items in a lane, and because he knew a neighbour had recently had items stolen from his shed, he knocked on his door and told him where they were.

This incident was one of a spate of break-ins in the Westerton area of Bearsden.

Westerton Bowling Club on Maxwell Avenue and an IT consultancy were also broken into but nothing was taken from either premises.

If you saw anything suspicious or have any information that may be useful phone the police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
