A trailer containing almost £90,000 worth of Glenfiddich whisky has been stolen in Glasgow.

Detective Sergeant Stephen Greenshields, at Shettleston CID, said: “I am keen to speak to anyone who has seen this trailer since it was stolen on Friday 11 December until the empty trailer was recovered in Blantyre on Tuesday.
