Police are investigating the “suspicious” death of a man in Port Glasgow.

Officers were called to Brookfield Road at around 9.05pm on Saturday 27 April, after a man was found seriously injured.

The 27 year old was pronounced dead at the scene, and police say an “extensive” investigation is under way to establish the full circumstances.

Major Investigations Teams (West) Detective Inspector Ally Semple said: “At this time, we believe that the attack on the man was targeted.

“Officers have been carrying out enquiries in the area, checking CCTV and speaking to local residents but we’d still like to hear from anyone with information who has not yet come forward.

“We’d be keen to view any doorbell/private CCTV or dashcam footage from the area and between 8.30pm and 9.15pm on Saturday, just in case footage has been caught that would identify any suspects.

"There will be an increased police presence in the area as our enquiries continue."

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
