Resident Rion McKerron phoned the police and was told by officers that as many as 20 cars had been targeted, and police were looking into the idea the damage was linked to the new Patrick to Govan bridge.

An investigation has been launched after multiple vehicles in Glasgow had their tyres slashed and messages etched into the paintwork in the early hours of the morning.

Local resident Rion McKerron told Glasgow Live how he was awoken by his brother with the news, he said: "My brother had noticed that cars along the street had been damaged when he was heading to work. He woke me up with the news about 8.30am. Rion contacted the police and was told by officers that as many as 20 cars had been targeted, and police were looking into the idea the damage was linked to the new Partick to Govan bridge.

"However, they also said someone might have an issue that the parking has become impossible since the new bridge was built. The police said we got let off lightly though as some people had all four tyres punctured and things scratched into the paint work.
