TWO men were caught by a passerby trying to steal the catalytic converter from a BMW by cutting in to the vehicle with an angle grinder.
When spotted carrying out the crime in full view, one of the men said to the witness, “You alright mate?”
Police were called and found Stephen Daniel, 27, and Francis McDonald, 46, covered in dirt and dust from the car.
The incident happened on April 22, 2021 in Pollokshields.
Depute fiscal Jessica McGowan told Glasgow Sheriff Court: “The witness was walking on Barrland Street when he heard a noise sounding like power tools coming from a secure car park.
