Morrisons petrol station robbed as man rushed to hospital in late-night incident
The petrol station on Lindsayfield Avenue in East Kilbride has been robbed as police launch a manhunt. A Scots petrol station has been cordoned off by police following a late-night robbery which left a man in hospital. Police Scotland have launched a manhunt after the Morrisons supermarket fuel station on Lindsayfield Avenue, East Kilbride, was robbed in the early hours of this morning (Monday June 9). Emergency personnel received a call about the incident at around 12.15am and crews raced to the scene. Upon attending, a male member of staff was rushed to hospital. The force have since opened a probe to find those responsible for the raid. Images from the scene show the petrol station taped off by police with cop cars still in attendance. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'An investigation is underway following a robbery at a fuel station on Lindsayfield Avenue, East Kilbride. " Police received a call around 12.15am on Monday, June 9, 2025. " Emergency services attended and a male member of staff was taken to hospital. " Enquiries are ongoing to locate those responsible.' Last month, in a separate incident, we reported that a crowd of masked youths threw a lit flare into a petrol station shop in a shocking rampage in Wishaw. Up to 25 yobs descended on the forecourt of the petrol station on Overtown Road in the Lanarkshire town at around 5:50pm on May 13. CCTV captured the gang, a number of whom wore balaclavas and dark clothing, as they launched the missile. Staff members and a number of customers were inside the petrol station shop during the attack. Police were called to the disturbance but the youths had fled the scene. It is understood the group had earlier been at Newmains United Community FC ground before they made their way to the petrol station. Cooper Brothers Ltd, who own the premises, took to social media for help identifying the culprits. A statement read: "A group of over 25 youths entered our petrol station forecourt and lit a flare. It was then thrown into the shop, with staff and customers still in the store, causing smoke and burn damage to the floor and some stock. "Thankfully, no fuel was ignited. "The group had been at the Newmains United Community FC ground beforehand, with some claiming to be 'Ultras' from the club. Some individuals were wearing black or red-and-black balaclavas. "We've handed over full CCTV to Police Scotland, but any additional information could really help. The petrol station shared CCTV of the moment black smoke filled the petrol station ship after the pyrotechnic was thrown inside. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'Around 5.50pm on Tuesday, 13 May, 2025, we received a report of a disturbance involving a group of youths at a premises on Overtown Road, Wishaw. 'Officers attended and the group had dispersed. Enquiries are ongoing.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Drug dealer's driving in Paisley led police to £6,190 cocaine discovery
Cops snared the motorist using 'counter surveillance' moves while officers followed the car. A drug dealer was snared when cops followed a black BMW from Paisley to Hillington which was being driven using 'counter surveillance techniques'. Charles Caldwell was snared by police driving out of a Paisley street in his motor on January 18 last year. Officers, in their unmarked car, followed the 32-year-old as he drove to Hillington, changing lanes, slowing his speed and speeding off. When cops stopped Caldwell, his passenger got out of the car that caused cops to detect a strong stench of cannabis which led them to conduct a search of Caldwell and his vehicle. Procurator fiscal depute Jason Stark told Paisley Sheriff Court cops found cocaine within Caldwell's car and stashed in his underwear. He explained: 'On January 18 last year, officers on plain-clothes patrol in an unmarked vehicle observed a black BMW exiting Dee Crescent in Paisley. Officers followed the vehicle to outside The Wheel Specialist in Hillington. 'Throughout the journey, police observed the vehicle to change lanes on a number of occasions, slow speed and then accelerate sporadically which police believed was counter surveillance techniques. 'Police approached the vehicle and observed the accused as the driver and another male as the front seat passenger. 'The passenger exited the vehicle and police detected a strong smell of cannabis emanating from within. Both males were informed they were being detained and cautioned at common law and a search of the accused was carried out.' The court heard officers discovered a knotted white bag containing a 'white rock substance' from Caldwell's jacket pocket, two mobile phones from his trousers pocket and a white knotted bag containing white powder within his underwear. Cops then carried out a search of the car and found two white bags containing numerous white knotted bags which had white powder. Mr Stark added: 'Around 3.15pm on the same date, officers rested and weighed the recovered items within Paisley police office. 'The item recovered from the accused's jacket pocket weighed 57.5g and was separated into five bags which contained two knotted bags therein, one containing white powder, believed to be a mixing agent and white rock which tested positive for cocaine weighing 18.5g, and 37g of unknown white powder. The item recovered from the accused's underwear totalled 124.6g and tested positive for cocaine. 'A white bag recovered within the car weighed 73.3g and was separated into 42 knotted wraps which weighed 1.7g approximately, which tested positive for cocaine. 'And a second white bag recovered from the car, weighed 32.4g and was separated into 35 knotted wraps which tested positive for cocaine.' The court heard a forensic drug expert estimated that, should the Class A drug be sub-divided into the 'lowest recovered recognised street deal of 1g', it has the potential to generate approximately £6,190. Mr Stark added: 'The officers confirmed that it is their opinion that the cocaine in this case is excessive for personal use with the majority of which being sub-divided into recognised street deals and would be for sale or supply.' Caldwell's defence agent asked for background reports to be prepared and reserved mitigation. Caldwell admitted to being concerned in the supply of cocaine, a Class A drug on January 18 last year. Sheriff Andrew Berry adjourned sentence for the preparation of a criminal justice social work report and a restriction of liberty order assessment. Caldwell, of Castlegreen Street, Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire, had bail continued and will be sentenced next month.
