Sadly, it appears there was a substantial theft of guitars from a little independent guitar shop in Glasgow over the weekend and the thieves got away with some high value instruments, including some NK Forster guitars and a Santa Cruz.
if members wouldn’t mind keeping an eye out for the guitars on the list below and assisting the police if they see any of these instruments surface for sale?
The shop has posted the below, for sharing...
Hello Everybody
As most of you all know, we had a major break in on Saturday night - at approx 11pm - the robbers came in through our steel reinforced upper railway arch and got away with 12 guitars from our stock that were on show.
ALL GUITARS IN FOR REPAIR ARE OK! And rest assured, we are fully insured and the customers who lost a guitar in this incident will get every penny of money that is owed to them as soon as humanly possible!
They didn't access any other part of the shop or workshop - they didn't have time - our alarm was blaring.
The police were so quick to respond and attended 10 mins after the alarm triggered and we were here ourselves 5 mins after that - we must have 'just' missed them.
The robbers have gotten away along our roof and up on to the railway line - we have just confirmed from Network Rail CCTV - and they have headed south over the Clyde with the stolen guitars - we don't know where they came off the line yet, but the police are doing their damnedest to trace them!!
There has been a 'team' of them to achieve this and this was highly planned and well organised - 'organised crime' you could say - this wasn't an opportunistic robbery! The guitars they took are expensive but rare and going to be very hard to sell and hopefully easily spotted!
Please be re-assured we have secured the shop again and today are getting more reinforcement work done with the help of Network Rail and will be even more fortified than before - the police had said that our security is top notch as it is and there was nothing more we could have done but we are determined to reinforce everything and get them at every turn.
Although this is very difficult and we are still in shock with what has happened we are a strong team and we are going to do everything we can to get through this - we won't let them win!
If anyone who reads this has any information or anything you think may be relevant please get in touch via phone or email - thank you so much all for your messages of support - we are soooo appreciative!
Please could you share this list and hopefully social media will do its job! All the pictures of the stolen guitars are on this website!
