A busy Glasgow street has been taped off by police this morning.
Officers were spotted on Waterloo Street in the city centre before 8am. The force shut off the pavement outside the Sentinel building on the corner of Douglas Street.
Photographs from the scene show police tape tied to lampposts and doors cordoning off the walkway. Officers are also seen standing guard behind the cordon alongside two cop cars.
It’s understood that the force are investigating a smashed window and graffiti reading “Chubb insures genocide” sprayed on the windows of the offices. Chubb Insurance, housed in the building, has been the target of numerous Pro-Palestine demonstrations at their numerous locations across the UK.

On March 11, People Against Genocide activists covered their Manchester offices in red paint and staged a protest outside. Similar happened at their offices in London on March 31.
The latest demonstration happened yesterday at their Manchester office again. Photos from the scene showed the area taped off by police after red paint was splattered onto the structure and windows were smashed.
It is alleged these attacks have taken place due to the firm being the “insurers of Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems”. Police Scotland are investigating the incident and say enquiries are ongoing.
