An object thought to be an "unexploded wartime device" caused some drama in Coatbridge on Monday, with bomb specialists racing to the scene.
The bomb squad raced to the scene near the A8 in Shawhead to assess the object - which turned out to be a gas canister.
The alarm was raised at around 2.45pm on Monday, January 24, with the specialist coppers closing off the on and off ramp from the A725 to the A8, with diversions being put in place.
