Huge rat spotted inside Paisley Greggs
A Greggs bakery in Paisley was forced to close down this week after a large rat was spotted combing through supplies after lock-up.
A passing member of the public spotted the rat clambering through a bin cage inside the store on Ferguslie Walk in Paisley earlier this week. The woman filmed the moment from outside the shop, with the large pest seen scurrying along the shop floor through the window.
In the video, shared to Facebook, a person behind the camera can be heard retching, with another saying: “Oh my god, look at that, they must be in that shop”.
Greggs closed the Paisley branch after the “disgusting” video circulated online. Glasgow Live can confirm that it has since reopened.
A spokesperson for Greggs said: “We take all matters of food hygiene extremely seriously and have strict procedures in place across all of our shops.
“Our shop on Ferguslie Walk in Paisley was temporarily closed for a short period earlier this week, but has now reopened.”
