News / Cash taken in double break in
THIEVES who broke into two buildings in Lerwick on Monday night and stole money have sparked a police investigation.
Police say that less than £100 was taken in cash from the Christian Book Shop, on Market Street.
Attempts to break into a safe at the offices of Shetland Islands Council’s social work department, on Fort Road, failed. However staff reported that two mobile phones and about £80 in cash that had been collected for a colleague who was leaving were stolen.
Police are not ruling out the possibility the two incidents are connected and are asking witnesses to make contact at Lerwick police station on 01595 692110 or anonymously at Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
