A MAN has appeared in court after alleged suspicious items were found at a property in the West End.
Shazad Khan, 50, made no plea at Glasgow Sheriff Court today.
He was charged with making or possessing an explosive substance under suspicious circumstances, being in possession of a firearm, and a drug offence.
He was remanded in custody and committed for further examination.
It comes after we reported that residents had to be evacuated from their homes on Broomhill Drive following the discovery of items during a pre-planned operation.
Cops locked down the road between Dumbarton Road and Broomhill Avenue on Thursday afternoon.
The road was reopened this morning.
An emergency rest centre was set up by the council at Partick Burgh Hall for anyone evacuated from their home.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
