Detectives in Tollcross have revisited the scene of an attempted murder one week ago in a bid to jog people's memories.

Around 11pm last Tuesday two men got out of a black coloured car, entered a house on Cuthelton Terrace and shot a 38 year old man in the head.

He was taken to hospital where medical staff describe his condition as stable.

Detective Inspector Gillian Faulds said: “The overall response from members of the public last night was positive and officers managed to speak to 18 pedestrians and motorists during the operation.

“Information from members of the public is absolutely vital to this investigation and I would urge anyone with even the slightest piece of information to come forward.

“These individuals discharged a firearm in a residential area, not only endangering the life of their target, but also potentially putting other members of the public at risk. They must be caught and held accountable for their actions.

“I would particularly appeal to any motorists with dashcams who were in or around the Tollcross or Shettleston areas on the Tuesday night to get in touch in case they have captured any footage of significance.

“Anyone with information is asked to contact CID officers at Govan Police Station via 101, quoting incident number 4200 of 18 September 2018. Alternatively you can call CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111 where information can be given anonymously."
