Three men released without charge following incident at Buchanan Bus Station, Glasgow

Three men arrested following the discovery of a suspicious item at Glasgow's Buchanan Bus Station on Wednesday, 20 November, have been released without charge.

Superintendent Derrick Johnston said: "The initial report was treated as a credible threat and, as a precautionary measure and in accordance with procedures, the surrounding area was closed to the public and a cordon put in place.

"The Royal Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal team (EOD) carried out a controlled explosion after an assessment was made of the impact to nearby gas mains and local train lines.

"The item was then examined and confirmed to be innocent in nature, posing no risk to the public.

"All areas reopened by 9.45pm and I thank the public for their patience and understanding."
