An explosion in a remote forest area is being investigated by
counter-terrorism officers in Scotland.
A member of the public reported the explosion in the Garadhban
forest in Gartocharn near Loch Lomond.
Police said there was damage to trees and that they suspected
explosives had been involved. UK-wide agencies are helping
police assess the scene.
The Northern Diving Group - the Royal Navy's equivalent of the
bomb disposal squad - was at the scene today. A Ministry of
Defence spokesman said it had been asked for
assistance by Strathclyde Police.
No one was injured and the public was not at risk, the force
said.
A source close to the investigation said counter-terrorism
officers were at the scene.
Chief Superintendent Calum Murray, Divisional Commander for
Argyll, Bute and West Dunbartonshire, said: "As you would
expect, when we are dealing with a situation where we suspect
that explosives may be involved, it is our immediate
priority to assess the situation and to call on expertise
where we think it is appropriate.
"By its very nature, this type of assessment and investigation
is complex and does take time. I can confirm that we are
currently being assisted by agencies from across the
UK.
"I would stress that the site is secure and that there is no
risk to public safety. I would ask that if anyone has seen
anything suspicious in or around the area, or has
any information - no matter how insignificant it may
seem - that they contact the Police or Crimestoppers. All
calls will, of course, be treated in the strictest of
confidence.
"As I am sure you can understand, this is an ongoing
investigation that is going to take some time to complete. We
will release more information as that investigation
progresses."
