Edinburgh men raided posh clothes section in Dobbies after Covid turned them to life of crime

Two men who botched a 3am wax jacket raid on a garden centre - after turning to crime during the Covid pandemic - have been jailed.

Ryan Bland and Michael Osborne from Edinburgh smashed a window at the Dobbies store on the outskirts of Stirling after travelling to the city to buy a van at a nearby travellers' site.

They loaded the van with nearly £22,000 worth of posh country togs, but panicked when police arrived, speeding off and crashing nearby.
