A pair of hooded yobs have been caught on camera using a brick to smash their way into a Glasgow restaurant before fleeing the scene with a bundle of cash.
Shocked workers at the Thai Restaurant and Bar on Kilmarnock Road discovered they had been raided in the early hours of Sunday, February 19, before alerting police.
CCTV footage showed the thugs approaching the door of the business and picking up a brick off the pavement. They then lob it at the glass doors twice before beginning to kick their way inside the door.
The thieves are then seen running away from the eatery around 30 seconds later with their ill-gotten gains. A total of £100 in cash was taken from the till while extensive damage was done to the entryway of the restaurant.
The manager told Glasgow Live: “I came to work at around 2pm and saw that the door was broken. They broke the till and grabbed all the money from it. We are having to pay £400 for new glass and I have no idea how much the floor will cost us.
"We had to close all of Sunday because of it."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 4.50am on Sunday, 19 February, 2023, police were called to a report of a break-in to a premises on Kilmarnock Road, Glasgow. Enquiries are ongoing.”
The Thai Restaurant and Bar have issued a £1000 reward for anyone who has information regarding the incident that leads to perpetrators identification.
