A man has been charged with road traffic offences after an incident on a busy road in Glasgow on Friday, January 3.
After a car was stopped by police on Great Western Road at around 6.30pm on Friday, potentially dangerous items were found within the vehicle – prompting a lock down of the area as a “precaution”.
A 55-year-old was charged in connection with road traffic offences and the items found within were assessed and found to be safe.
In images seen by Glasgow Live, the car can be seen static on the road with its doors, boot and bonnet open while police stand guard at each end of the cordon.
