Cops launch probe after £500K worth of tyres stolen from Scots yards

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.

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.

“It is likely that those responsible will be attempting to move the tyres on and sell them to unsuspecting motorists or garages via a number of means, so we are asking people to be aware.

“If you have any information which could assist our enquiries, please call police on 101, quoting incident 1357 of 28 September, 2022. Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, if you wish to remain anonymous.
