A man has been arrested in connection with an incident on Petershill Road yesterday.
We previously reported that emergency services locked down an area of the North Glasgow street following reports of a 'suspect' device at around 10.05am.
Residents were evacuated from the premises as the specialist bomb squad, known officially as the EOD Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit, arrived on the scene.
Now, Glasgow Times can officially confirm that a 50-year-old has been arrested in connection with the scare.
