The Great Trainers Robbery
Robbers are on the run in more ways than one in the Great Trainers Robbery and are currently showing the police a clean pair of heels.
Around 4,000 pairs of Nike trainers worth £400,000 have been stolen from a lorry at a service station in South Lanarkshire.
The footwear was taken from the parked vehicle at the Abington Services Interchange on the M74 between 17:00 on Wednesday and 04:30 on Thursday (Feb 24).
Police Scotland said the vehicle and two others parked nearby were damaged during the theft.
A major CCTV trawl is under way in a bid to identify the suspects.
Det Con Heather Anderson urged anyone who saw anything suspicious to contact officers.
She added: “No matter how insignificant it may have seemed at the time, it could be vital to our investigation.
“In particular, I would ask motorists with dash-cams who were in the area at the time to check their footage.
“It is possible that it could have recorded something which could assist in our ongoing inquiries.”.

Anything thing that has gone missing on the Trainers front, although no public announcement has been made yet, is the One One on the HOKA brand name. Almost by stealth it has disappeared overnight with the company apparently dropping the confusing add-on and simplifying its name to just HOKA. The rebranding appears official as their website is no longer hokaoneone.com, but simply hoka.com.
