A MAN was arrested in connection with an attempted robbery at a Clarkston post office.
The 38-year-old was charged with a number of robberies and attempted robberies at post offices across the central belt of Scotland between late December and the start of January.
The incident in Clarkston took place on January 7 in the Premier store on Busby Road.
The man was also arrested in relation to incidents in Larkhall, Glenboig, Linlithgow, Cowdenbeath, Burntisland and Kincardine.
A 28-year-old man has also been charged in connection with the robberies in West Lothian and Fife.
Detective inspector Colin Robson, of Dunfermline CID, said: “Thanks to the combined efforts of officers from four territorial divisions, as well as specialist resources, two men have now been charged in connection with these incidents and we’re not currently looking for anyone else.
“I want to again commend the staff involved for their assistance following these distressing incidents, as well as thank the local communities and everyone who came forward with information for their support.”
The men were due to appear at Dunfermline Sheriff Court last Friday.
