A DESIGNER fashion shop was raided just days after a star studded opening in Glasgow.

The Ralph Lauren store was targeted by raiders in a daring late night heist.

The fashion hot-spot was only re-opened last week by Scots rocker Sharleen Spiteri following a £500,000 revamp.

Other celebrity guests included Rangers aces Kenny Miller and Nacho Novo, as well as TV presenter Carol Smillie.

Thieves broke into the boutique at around 10pm on Sunday night and loaded a dark coloured Vauxhall Vectra or Astra with clothing before speeding off.

One man forced his way through the shop's front door before a getaway driver helped him escape with thousands of pounds worth of stolen items.

Police said the first suspect was a white male about 5'7" to 5'8" in height, aged 35-40 years with short reddish/brown hair.

He was wearing light blue denims and a black/blue v- neck jumper with a light blue shirt collar, he was also wearing dark chunky boots or shoes.

The second suspect is described as male and was in the driver's seat of the Vauxhall Vectra or Astra.

Detective Constable Gillian Conroy from Glasgow City Centre CID said: "I would appeal to anyone who can help identify these men or anyone with information to come forward as a matter of urgency.

"I would also ask any person who is offered Ralph Lauren clothing for sale and is dubious about the origin of the property to get in touch."

Despite the raid the Ralph Lauren store was open for business on Monday.

Staff at the Ingram Street store yesterday refused to comment on the incident.

Police are also hunting raiders who demolished the front of a shop in a failed cash point ram-raid at the weekend.

A group of about four or five men smashed into the Scotmid co-op in Newmains, Wishaw, in a stolen dumper truck.

The men had also earlier tried to ram-raid an ATM at nearby BP garage.

Police believe the men, all wearing dark clothing, stole the dumper truck from an area of waste ground.

Anyone with information on the Glasgow robbery should Glasgow City Centre CID on 0141 532 3036 or call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111.
