Cops probing ‘suspicious package’ at Buchanan Bus Station search for man seen with cardboard box

Police investigating a ‘suspicious package’ incident at Buchanan Bus Station in Glasgow are asking anyone who saw a man carrying a cardboard box to come forward.

The busy transport hub was evacuated while emergency services - including a bomb team - raced to the scene at around 12.15pm yesterday.

Members of the public were urged to avoid the Killermont Street area while specialists examined the mystery container.

They later determined that it wasn't an explosive device and posed no risk to the general public.

However, officers say they are keen to speak to anyone who was standing near Stance 22 and who may have seen a man carrying the box.

He was wearing dark clothing, a cream coloured cap and had a black and white dog with him.

Detective Constable John Fagan, of Greater Glasgow CID, said: “The incident caused extreme disruption in the local area and we are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

“We are appealing for anyone who was at Buchanan Bus Station around the time of the incident who witnessed a male carrying a cardboard box to come forward.

“In particular, we are looking to identify anyone who was near to Stance 22.

“The male was wearing dark clothing, a cream coloured cap and had a black and white dog with him.”

Anyone with information is urged to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 1299 of 8 June.
