Masked girls stun victim to steal £1,200

“Glasgow police are investigating one of the oddest assault robbery cases on their files. The attack happened on the first-floor landing of 18 Montrose Street, in the city centre,” reported The Post.

“A woman was making her way to work in the building. She was carrying individual wage packets made up for the staff just under £1,200.

“As she reached the first floor two girls, wearing ski-type woollen hats pulled over their faces, pounced. They threw pepper into her face, temporarily blinding her and smashed her glasses.

“The two girls grabbed the wage packets from her and ran off down the stairs and into the street. A woman at the close entrance heard the victim’s screams and chased the raiders, but they disappeared. Police want anyone who saw the girl thugs to get in touch with them.”
