Fifteen arrested after ‘violent’ anti-immigration protest takes over Glasgow

COPS arrested 15 people after an anti-migrant protest descended into chaos on the streets of Glasgow. Chief Superintendent Emma Croft said: “We have seen significant disorder from disparate groups in Glasgow today at what should have been peaceful, lawful protests. “Incidents of this nature can understandably cause a great deal of concern, and our officers took quick and decisive action to protect the public and bring the situation to conclusion. “I want to be clear that the behaviour from many of these groups is not legitimate protest, it amounts to violence, intimidation and fear and will not be tolerated.

Enquiries will continue in this regard. “This is completely unacceptable behaviour and those involved should be in no doubt that they will be identified and held to account for their actions. “At a time when Glasgow should be shown at its best, it is extremely disappointing to once again be dealing with violence and disorder that attempts to create unease in our communities.” “The protests and associated incidents have now concluded. We will continue to have a visible policing presence in the city centre and surrounding areas.” More to follow… For the latest news on this story keep checking back at The Scottish Sun.
