Residents in Glasgow who were evacuated earlier in the day have been told they can return home after armed cops swooped on the area. Armed police are at the scene on Drumlaken Street in Summerston after being called out at 9.50am on Monday.
Police confirmed they were in the area in response to an incident in connection with an ongoing investigation. Several surrounding streets, including Caldercuilt Road, between Arrochar Street and Rothes Drive, and Arrochar Street at Drumlaken Street, were closed.
Locals were told to take shelter in a community centre. But hours later, Glasgow City Council advised residents on social media they were able to return to their homes at around 7.15pm.
Images showed a large emergency response in the area. One picture shows police cordon, taping off part of the street with two police cars parked nearby, and a uniformed officer standing guard.
