Three men have admitted being involved in an armed heist at Glasgow's Argyll Arcade.

Jason Yendall, Aaron Brannan and Jason Britton raided a jewellery shop at the mall bagging more than £200,000 of high-end watches.

They were linked to the crime after two friends - Alistair Oliver and Gordon McLay - were were later seen sporting two of the stolen watches at their local bookies.

All five were also involved in a bank robbery in Edinburgh in which £20,000 was taken.

The gang face lengthy jail terms when they are sentenced next month.
