About 3,000 cases of whisky have been stolen from a lorry in Coatbridge, near Glasgow.

The trailer containing the alcohol was taken from a yard on Hornoch Road at about 2300 BST on Friday.

It is thought the load was worth £250,000 and included Dewar's Special Reserve, Aberfeldy and Glenlivet Malt.

The trailer and lorry were found, empty, in a lay-by on the A8 between Langbank and Port Glasgow at about 1700 BST on Saturday.

Strathclyde Police appealed to anyone offered cut price bottles of whisky to contact them.
