Thieves walk out of Glasgow charity office with three TVs

 

Refuweegee have asked for support and information. 

A Glasgow-based refugee charity has called for help after suffering a second break-in the its premises in a few months. 

Refuweegee has pleaded with members of the public to offer support in finding those responsible for a theft at their premises. 

Three TVs were stolen from the office in Glasgow city centre, and the charity have asked that anyone with information come forward.

In a statement on social media, the charity wrote: “Last week (Tuesday 14th January, to be precise) on the second day of our team being in our new office on George Square, these three delights broke through two security doors and walked out 20 minutes later with three stolen televisions - see the second video. 

“They're stealing from so many people, the donors, us at Refuweegee and the recently arrived community.

“This all happened between 12:15pm and 12:38pm (the security camera footage shows 15mins ahead). Broad daylight, busy street. 

“The police have now said we can share the footage and if anyone recognises them you can get in touch with Police Scotland or us directly. 

“We're still not done with the investigation from the break in before Christmas and now we're pulled away again from core activity to deal with another. If anyone can help with CCTV and security advice then please also reach out.”

Police Scotland confirmed that enquiries are ongoing.
