Masked gang ram-raid Livingston Flannels store and torch vehicle

A high-end designer clothing store in Livingston has been targeted in a dramatic ram-raid by a masked gang. The incident occurred at the Flannels store, where suspects drove a vehicle directly through the front entrance doors, causing catastrophic structural damage to the storefront.

After looting the premises of high-value designer clothing, the gang set fire to the ramming vehicle and fled the scene in a secondary getaway car. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service was dispatched to extinguish the blazing vehicle, which was later towed away by police for forensic analysis.

Detectives have launched a major appeal for information and are reviewing local CCTV footage. A Police Scotland spokesperson described the incident as a highly coordinated and dangerous raid, urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident, noticed suspicious vehicles in the area, or captured dashcam footage during the early morning hours to contact investigators immediately.
