Police enquiries continuing after ‘suspicious package’ found in Dennistoun

Part of the M8 and the area around Milnbank Street were closed off after the discovery on Thursday afternoon.

Officers from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team examined the item and confirmed it was not a ‘viable device’.

The motorway was later re-opened, the cordon was removed and local residents were allowed to return home.

However, Police Scotland says enquiries are continuing.

It also said: “We thank the public for their co-operation and patience during this incident.”
