CCTV footage has launched a police search for a limping man wearing a balaclava.

The clip shows the masked man purchasing items from a petrol station before leaving in a white car.

Detectives are hoping the masked man could help with their investigation into several house robberies in Glasgow.

The incidents have occurred at various locations across the city and surrounding areas between November 2023 and March 2024.

While there is no evidence to confirm they are linked, there are similarities to each case and many resulted in valuable personal items being stolen.

The man is described as wearing a hat and face covering with a dark jumper and lighter coloured trousers. He walks with a distinctive limp.
