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.'
