Police have launched a probe after £500,000 worth of tyres were stolen tyre yards in North Lanarkshire.
The thefts are believed to have taken from yards in the Newmains and Chapelhall areas on a number of occasions throughout September 2022. The tyres stolen are thought to have been Lassa, Tomket, Waterfall, Anchee and Threea.
Following enquiries, police said they have recovered large quantity in Lanarkshire and Glasgow, however a significant amount remain outstanding. Officers are asking for anyone with information, or who believes they may have seen any of these tyres for sale under suspicious circumstances, to come forward. Detective Constable Gerry Hattie, from Wishaw CID, said: “This was a significant and valuable series of thefts.
