Police Scotland have announced that three women were charged for various shoplifting offences in Scotland's largest shopping centre.

Pollok officers engaging in retail crime task force patrols caught the females who, over two days, stole items worth to over £600 from Silverburn which have all since been recovered.

It comes after a massive Police crackdown on shoplifting saw 1,300 arrests in a year.

Police Scotland recommends retail workers report any attempted shoplifting offences via their online form.

However, if the incident in motion, is putting someone in danger or the suspect is still there, they recommend calling 999.
