Security guard hospitalised after abduction by thieves

A security guard was taken to hospital with serious head injuries after he was abducted by a gang who stole a digger from a building site.

Four men broke into the yard in Catacol Grove, East Kilbride, assaulted the guard then bundled him into their van. The 52-year-old was later found in the abandoned van and taken to Crosshouse Hospital in Kilmarnock.

Strathclyde Police has asked for anyone with information to come forward.

The force said that the gang stole the large yellow digger and drove off in that and the van, but crashed and abandoned the digger.
