Burntout car linked to shooting

Police are appealing for information about a burnt-out car that was found in Lochwinnoch.

The vehicle, discovered at Muirshiel Country Park is believed to have been used in a gun attack in north Glasgow.

Officers have confirmed that the red Audi, registration MJ14 ZFM, was found in the Lochwinnoch park on Sunday, a day after a 29-year-old man was rushed to hospital, having sustained gun wounds.

Police were called to Dykemuir Street in Springburn on Saturday at 11.15am after gunshots were heard.

A short time later, a 29-year-old man attended hospital with injuries caused by a firearm.

He remains in hospital and medical staff describe his condition as serious but stable.

Detective Inspector Jim Bradley of London Road police office, said: “We are now carrying out forensic enquiries on the burned out vehicle we have recovered, however we are appealing for information regarding its movements between Dykemuir Street and Muirshiel Country Park.

“The car would have been set on fire between 4 pm on Saturday and 11.30 am on Sunday.

“It is a distinctive car with chrome wing mirrors and chrome surround on the windows. Do you remember seeing anything out of the ordinary in or near the visitor centre car park?

“We would also like to find out its movements between Glasgow and the Lochwinnoch area and would ask everyone to think back – did you see this car? You may have dash-cam footage that can help us – particularly in Craigenbae Street, Dykemuir Street, Wallacewell Road or in the Muirshiel Country Park. You may have information that could be the key to finding out who was responsible for this attack, no matter how insignificant it may have seemed at the time.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Greater Glasgow CID via 101.
