Residents were ordered to leave their homes
Emergency services, including a bomb squad, remain on the scene of a large-scale incident in Glasgow after residents were evacuated this morning.
A cordon has been established and residents were ordered to leave their homes following reports of a suspicious package in a flat in the street. The eastern area of Petershill Road, and adjacent Red Road, have been closed to the public. Huge teams of firefighters, supporting explosive ordnance experts, are pictured on the scene, along with a Scottish Ambulance Service incident support vehicle. An SFRS spokesperson confirmed that firefighters were still on the scene as of 5.30pm.
"The EOD - Explosive Ordnance Disposal - is in attendance. As a precaution, a number of flats have been evacuated and some road closures have been implemented. People are advised at this time to heed local diversions or seek alternative routes.”
