Bomb disposal team called to Glasgow street

Several streets were closed off

A bomb disposal team were called in after a suspect package was found at a property in Glasgow.

Roads were shut in the east end of the city on Friday morning and nearby residents were also evacuated from their properties.

Police Scotland said the suspect package was removed and there was no threat to the wider public.

Dalmarnock Road was temporarily closed in both directions and Baltic Street was closed at Garval Street.

A spokesman said: "Following an ongoing police inquiry, a suspicious item was discovered at an address on Summerfield Street, off Dalmarnock Road, Glasgow around 4.30am on Friday.

"The item required EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) assessment who attended and safely removed the item from the property. There is no threat to the wider public.

"As a precaution, nearby residents were evacuated from their properties and have since been allowed to return to their homes.

"All roads surrounding the area have been reopened and there are no injuries. Inquiries are ongoing into the incident."

A Royal Navy spokesman said a bomb disposal team from HM Naval Base Clyde were called in to support police.
