Glasgow bag snatch thieves on motorbike terrorise pedestrians in multiple attacks

Police in Glasgow are hunting a pair of bag snatchers who terrorised pedestrians on a motorbike last night.

The yobs targeted several people in the Woodlands area of the city, trying to grab bikes and mobile phones as they drove past.

The pair wore balaclavas with hoodies, but neither had a helmet on. The bike is believed to be an older style, possibly a moped, and did not display a registration number.

Detective Sergeant Laura Roberts has appealed to potential witnesses to the attacks - which took place between 9pm and 10pm last night - to come forward as soon as possible.

She said: "We would like to speak to anyone who may have seen these men or who may have witnessed any of the incidents.

“We are also keen to hear from anyone with private CCTV or dashcam footage."

If you can help call police immediately on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
