POLICE have launched a probe after a female driver issued a warning about two men wearing balaclavas running towards her car.

Clare Louise McKeown reported the incident to officers after she was left terrified when one of the men tried to grab her door handle.

It happened on Springfield Road, Bishopbriggs at around 2.20am on Saturday, January 21.

In a post on Facebook to warn others, she said: "I was driving down Springfield Road towards the cross. I stopped at the lights next to Quinn's when I became aware of two men in my rear view mirror charging towards my car from behind the betting shop.

"They were both wearing balaclavas and one of the men tried to grab my door handle just before I put my foot down in the car and ran the lights.

"I'm not sure of the seriousness in their intent but I'd just like to warn women driving about Bishopbriggs and surrounding areas at night on their own to keep their car doors locked."

Police Scotland confirmed today that they received a report of the incident.

A spokesman said: "It was around 2.20am on Saturday, January 22, police received a report of two men behaving suspiciously on Springfield Road.

"Enquiries are ongoing."
