A man has been arrested following an anti-lockdown protest at George Square this afternoon.
It's been reported by the Daily Record around 100 people gathered in the city centre to voice their opposition to the lockdown measures at noon today.
The Greater Glasgow Police Division have since confirmed a man has been arrested in connection with an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act and a breach of the regulations following the protest.
Police have said 'anyone wishing to demonstrate should find alternative ways to protest' to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Inspector Alex Beagrie commented: "One man has been arrested in connection with an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act and a breach of the regulations following a protest in George Square on Saturday, 9 January.
“The Scottish Government regulations are clear that public processions and static protests are prohibited under the current Level 4 restrictions. We understand people want to make their voices heard, but they must do so lawfully and safely.
"Anyone wishing to demonstrate should find alternative ways to protest, such as online, to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.
"Our approach throughout this pandemic has been to engage with the public, explain the restrictions in place, encourage compliance and, as a last resort, we will use enforcement where required.
"The Chief Constable has been clear, where officers encounter wilful breaches we will act decisively to enforce the law. We are asking people to take personal responsibility and stay at home in order to protect our NHS and save lives.”
