Police descend on Mugdock Country Park as helicopters sighted overhead

Police are carrying out enquiries at a Scottish country park as part of an "ongoing investigation".

Members of the public spotted a police helicopter over Mugdock Country Park, near Milngavie, at around 11am on April 25. A number of police cars are also said to have parked in the green space's car park.

One member of the public shared multiple pieces of video footage of the helicopter flying overhead on Twitter. They later shared an image of a police car nearby.

They wrote: "Low Police Scotland helicopter circling over Mugdock Country Park for some time, around the moors/loch areas near East Car Park."

Later, they added: "Police Scotland helicopter still circling over Mugdock and Devil's Craig Dam/surrounding fields. Wonder what's going on?"

It is understood that some members of the public seeking to enter the park have been turned away. Another, unconfirmed report suggested that a house had been cordoned off with police tape.

A Police Scotland spokesperson would not be drawn on the nature of the incident, but has stressed that no wider threat is posed to the public.

They said: "Officers are currently in attendance at Mugdock Country Park in relation to an ongoing investigation. There is no risk to the wider public."
