Police swoop on Glasgow tower block after crowd gather outside in 'vigilante protest'

Police have swooped on a Glasgow tower block this evening after a crowd gathered outside in a 'vigilante protest'.

Over 15 police cars and vans have been spotted at the scene of the incident at a tower block on Charles Street in the Royston area of the city.

The Daily Record reported that the crowd - believed to number over 100 people - had gathered at the high-rise building amid reports online speculating that an alleged sex offender was living in the building.

Further photos from the scene shared online show a number of police officers forming a cordon to prevent people from accessing the tower block.
