• Police are appealing tor witnesses after a truck driver was huacked and his £135,000 cargo of whisky stolen. The driver was eventually dumped 300 miles away.
The incident happened last Wednesday (12 March) between 4am and lam at Annandale Water Services in Dumfries on the M74.
As the driver was checking his vehicle, the gang forced him into his cab and demanded he drive south towards the M6. When he reached Wigan, he was bundled into another vehicle before being driven to the Worcester area, where he was finally released in a wooded area. The driver managed to make his way to a local petrol station to raise the alarm.
A spokesperson for Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary says: "The white Scania truck has now been recovered in Goole, Humberside, minus its load. We are hunting for the three hijackers, who all spoke with Liverpudlian accents. Anyone with information should contact us."
