THREE men have been arrested after police were called to reports of shoplifting at the Rivergate Shopping Centre.
Officers attended the incident on Friday, April 4, and said the male suspects attempted to drive off in a vehicle.
The trio then allegedly refused to stop when requested to do so, however, cops were later able to halt the car.
The men - one aged 25 and two aged 24 - were then detained for a search.
Police said a quantity of stolen goods were found within the vehicle and the trio were arrested, charged, and held in custody for alleged shoplifting, drugs possession and various road traffic offences.
Sergeant Will Thomson said: “This is an excellent example of how we work closely with partners in retail and business to deter, prevent and investigate retail crime.
“We would encourage those employed within the retail sector to come forward and report any criminal activity, with assurance that reports will be thoroughly investigated."
