GMP confirmed that they attended at the scene at around 10pm on Friday (January 10).
A police spokesperson said: "We were called to a threat by phone.
"There is no threat to the wider community.
"Officers are there at the moment trying to see if there are any further issues. We do not believe there to be, though."
