'Racist' machete thugs rumbled for Giffnock attack after contact details spotted on getaway car

'Racist' machete thugs who robbed two teenagers in a leafy Glasgow suburb were rumbled after contact details were seen emblazoned across their Range Rover.

Bernard Larkin, 24, and Miley Doran, 26, targeted their victims, aged 19 and 15, in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire on September 8 last year. The crooks pulled over in a Range Rover before staring a conversation with the teens.

Prosecutor Leanne McQuillan said they hurled what was deemed to be a 'subtly racist' comment by asking, 'does your dad own a corner shop?'. The youngsters tried to flee the robbers but one demanded, 'f***ing money'.
