New leads in hunt for killer who gunned down father
POLICE are following new leads in their investigation into the murder of a man gunned down in front of children.
Father-of-two Gary
More, 32, was shot several times in Gartness
Drive, Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, on September 6 and died at the scene.
Officers revisited the area on Thursday night, a week on from the killing, and spoke to about 40 people, and were given new information on the getaway car.
The police move came hours after Mr More’s sister Lynsey made an appeal for information as officers said the initial public response had been “very poor”, with reports they had not received a single call.
A police spokeswoman said: “We spoke to about 40 people at the stop and interview operation. One piece of information in particular that is being looked into is the movements of the car and its occupants.”
After the shooting at 8.10pm, the suspect is believed to have sped away in a white Skoda Fabia, with a number of people inside.
A car of the same model and colour was later found burnt-out near Craigmaddie Road in Balmore, Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire, and is being examined by forensic teams.
Police inquiries have established the car was stolen on August 2 from the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.
