A BOLD thief bolted out of a pawnbrokers with a haul of jewellery in broad daylight in a busy shopping centre.
The conman asked to look at the items in Ramsden's store in Clydebank Shopping Centre before he made off at around 11.30am on Tuesday.
Police say he left the shopping centre, into the car park and headed off in the direction of Argyll Road.

Officers are reviewing CCTV images from the shopping centre for additional information.

I am appealing to anyone who was within Clydebank Shopping Centre on Tuesday to contact us with any information which could assist our investigation in trying to locate this man.”
