Car found in investigation

Police investigating an attempted murder in Glasgow are examining a burned out car linked to the attack.

The 26-year-old victim was shot at and then attacked in Dykemuir Street, Springburn, on Thursday afternoon.

He had just left his family car when he was approached by two men who narrowly missed him with a gunshot.

They then chased him and attacked with other weapons, leaving him in hospital.

Detectives recovered a Volvo XC60 on Saturday near Kirklee Green Reservoir in Ayrshire which they think the attackers may have used.

It was partly burned out but police said forensic tests can still be carried out and the car has been uplifted for examination.

Detective Superintendent Kenny Graham said: “Although we believe this attack was targeted, we still do not know the motive for the attempted murder.

“The victim remains in hospital and we continue to appeal for information.

“I am encouraged by the positive response we have had since our appeal and we are following up a number of lines of inquiry.”
