DETECTIVES have returned to the scene of a Calton drive-by shooting after the car involved was found burnt out.

One week after the incident, officers stopped and spoke with a number of people and motorists who may have been in the area at the time.

The shooting happened around 10.55pm on Monday, April 23, when a firearm was discharged at the resident of an address in Millroad Drive.

The shooter was the occupant of a white Volkswagen Polo car.

No-one was injured, however the members of the family were left badly shaken.

Detective Inspector Greig Wilkie said: “We are treating this as an attempted murder investigation and we have now recovered a white Volkswagen Polo which we suspect was driven by those responsible for the shooting.

"It was found, burnt out, near to Carmunnock Village, having been stolen from the north of Glasgow. It is undergoing forensic examination by specialist officers.

“We are continuing door-to-door enquiries and reviewing CCTV footage and I am continuing to appeal for members of the public to come forward with any information which can help our enquiries.

“I am particularly keen for anyone who may have seen the car being abandoned in the Carmunnock area on Tuesday, April 24, or anyone who was in the area at the time of the shooting and has seen this vehicle is urged to come forward.”

High-visibility patrols in the Calton area have been increased to help reassure local people and anyone with any concerns should contact officers.
