Police in Glasgow have confirmed that they are working with officers in London after a suspicious package was found on the University of Glasgow campus on Wednesday. 

Earlier this week a number of other devices were also found across London, but cops have said it remains too early to tell whether there is a link. 

Bomb disposal experts have now carried out a controlled explosion of the suspicious package found on campus.

Police have confirmed a 'device' was found within the package discovered in the mailroom on the main campus.

A number of police cordons in and around University Avenue remain in place as officers continue their enquiries.

However, there is no ongoing risk to the public.

"Inquiries have established that a package received at the Royal Bank of Scotland building on Glasgow Road Edinburgh today posed no risk to the public and contained promotional goods."

Counter-terror police are investigating three packages containing explosives found at Heathrow Airport, London City Airport and Waterloo station.

The "small improvised explosive devices" were found in A4 postal bags, the Metropolitan Police said.

The force's Counter Terrorism Command is treating it as a "linked series" and "keeping an open mind" about motives.
