Detective Inspector Alison Campbell said: “We are still establishing the full motive for the crime.

"We’re aware of an earlier incident, however, it’s yet to be established if this incident is linked to the disturbance in Old Luss Road.

"It’s possible shoppers in the store witnessed an altercation and dismissed it, however, in light of the later disturbance, I would ask anyone who was in the store to contact us as they may have information which could assist our enquiries.”

Anyone with any information is asked to call CID officers at Clydebank Police Station via 101, quoting incident number 3750 of May 4, 2020.
