⁠Police seize bag of guns found discarded in Glasgow street

On Tuesday 5th May, a bag of firearms was discovered discarded in the East End of Glasgow.

The bag was discovered next to an electricity substation, which sits in a popular dog-walking park.

All entrances of the park have since been closed off with a cordon, and uniformed officers are standing guard at each entrance.

Police have been seen searching wheelie bins, going door to door in order to speak to the local residents, and using sticks to scour the park grass. At one point, eight police cars parked on Tynecastle street.
