Police have re-appealed for information after a man was caught crawling along the floor of a golf shop before stealing nearly £10,000 worth of equipment.
A masked thief was picked up on CCTV 'crawling around like spiderman' after breaking into NexGen indoor golf centre in Westfield Industrial Estate on Deerdykes View, Cumbernauld on January 27.
A quantity of golf equipment worth over £9,600 was stolen from the family-run business just 10 minutes after employees locked up for the night.

The suspect allegedly smashed a window of the shop before fleeing with the haul in under three minutes.
Owner Chris Tierney, 37, said he was absolutely gutted following the shocking break-in.
He told the Daily Record: "The shop was locked up at 9.30pm on Friday and the person broke in at 9.40pm.
"He must have been watching the shop and waiting for the staff to leave. In and out in three minutes so he knew what he was doing.
"He smashed the front door and then crawled all around the shop to try and avoid the security camera.
"He was crawling around like spiderman.
"It is a family business and my wee girl was with me when we found the shop had been broken into on Saturday morning. We offer junior lessons and I had to cancel all the classes. I'm pretty gutted."
Detectives investigating the housebreaking have appealed to anyone with information to get in touch.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "Anyone who has information that could assist enquiries should contact police at Cumbernauld via 101 quoting incident number 1014 of 28 January 2023. Alternatively information can be given to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where anonymity can be maintained."
