Spot checks for raid clues

POLICE have been stopping motorists and pedestrians near a city centre bank which was held up last week.

Three men, believed to have been dressed in police uniforms, threatened a security guard with what appeared to be a gun during the raid on the NatWest bank in Glasgow’s Blythswood Square.

They launched their attack at about 10:40am on Monday of last week and escaped in a silver Mercedes with an unknown amount of cash.

The getaway car was last seen in Blythswood Street, turning right into Waterloo Street and heading on to the westbound carriageway of the M8.

One week on from the incident, detectives and uniformed officers are trying to gain more information.
