A Clydebank church has been damaged and 'invaluable items' stolen in an overnight break-in.
Officers were alerted to a break-in at a religious premises on Durban Avenue between the hours of 2.40am and 3.50am on Wednesday, July 23.
It is understood that Dalmuir Barclay Church is located at the corner of Durban Avenue and Mountblow Road.
Damage was caused to the property and cash, as well as invaluable items taken, which officers say will have a big impact on those who use the church.
Cops say enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.
Detective Inspector Pamela Grant said: “Break-ins and thefts like this are not victimless crimes. There’s a financial loss of the stolen items and a cost to repair the damage caused.
"However, some of the items taken cannot be replaced, and this has an even bigger impact on those who attend the premises.
“I’m appealing to anyone with information about what happened or the current whereabouts of the stolen items, to come forward.
“I’d also ask anyone with private CCTV, doorbell or dash-cam footage from the area in the early hours of Wednesday morning to please review this and bring anything of significance to our attention.”
Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference 0947 of 23 July. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
