HUNDREDS of motorists have been stopped and quizzed in a bid to find masked gunmen responsible for shooting a man in Shettleston.

Detectives investigating the attempted murder of 42-year-old Brian McGloin on Saturday October 13, held a stop and speak operation one week on.

By revisiting the scene of the shooting on Wellshot Road and Dunnottar Street in Ruchazie, where the burnt out car used in the incident was found, it was hoped those who frequent the area would come forward with information.

A total of 242 people were spoken to and 194 vehicles were stopped as part of the operation.

Officers are now working through the information received and enquiries are continuing.

We previously reported that two masked men forced their way into a flat in Wellshot Road and shot the victim before making off.

He is now in a serious but stable condition in Glasgow's Royal Infirmary.

Detective Inspector John Morrison, who is leading this investigation, said: "Our enquiries so far have identified a car which we believe may be significant to the enquiry was found burnt-out on Tuesday, 16 October at Dunnottar Street, Ruchazie.

“The vehicle is an old style Renault Megane, black in colour, with five doors and a 57 plate. Where it was found is less than three miles from where the 42-year-old man was shot within his home in Wellshot Road.

“What we know so far, is that the vehicle was parked in the Dunnottar Street area over the weekend of 14t and 15 October before being found burnt out by emergency services on Tuesday, 16 October. The vehicle will now be subject of rigorous forensic tests which should hopefully assist us with our ongoing enquiry.

“I would be very keen to speak to anyone in the local area who may have seen this vehicle in the area. Did you see any of the occupants and could you provide information to us which might help us identify those responsible? Any motorists in the area who may have dashcam footage are also asked to contact us.

“We continue to experience a lack of information being provided to us by the public which is very disappointing. However, we are determined to find those people responsible for this violent attack. If you have any information, please be aware you do not have to pass it directly to police, you can do so via Crimestoppers. Please don’t assume the information you have might not be useful, let us be the judge of that.

“However, if you call the police with information, we do have mechanisms in place to protect you, so please do not hesitate to contact us.

"We know that there are people out there who have information that would assist with our enquiry, and we would urge them to pass that information.

"Anyone with information is asked to contact police via 101 quoting reference number 3725 of 13 October 2018. Alternatively please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, where information can be passed in confidence."
