Police raids take place across Glasgow - Here's why
His comments came after a police operation got underway today which led to the discovery of suspected cannabis farms located within properties across the city. Detective Inspector Chris Hughes said: 'This is a multi-division crime group who are using victims of human trafficking to grow their organisation and we are seeing cultivations throughout the divisions. They vary in size and are very professional in there set up. The biggest thing we are seeing is people being exploited within those cultivations. 'We want to make sure that serious organised crime isn't allowed to flourish in Scotland." (Image: Images taken by Robert Perry, Newsquest) (Image: Images taken by Robert Perry, Newsquest) (Image: Images taken by Robert Perry, Newsquest) Three people were arrested after several properties were raided in the city this morning in relation to suspected illegal activity. The arrests were made as part of Police Scotland's Operation Kendrew, which is a multi-division effort in collaboration with the G, D, and J Divisions as well as the National Human Trafficking Unit (NHTU). The Glasgow Times accompanied cops to one of the properties in the East End where officers broke down the door with a baton ram before entering the property. As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of cannabis filled the air. One man was arrested at the address, and a large number of cannabis plants were found. More arrests were made across the other two properties where cannabis cultivations were also found. The values of the discoveries are unknown at this stage. (Image: Detective Sergeant Chris Hughes.

He added: 'Today was a concerted effort to tackle human trafficking in Scotland. 'This is a long-running investigation and we're ultimately looking to target the upper echelon of that group and dismantle their operations in Scotland.' He continued: 'The NHTU are heavily involved in targeting the groups that work in Scotland. 'We are completely reliant on support from our partners, the public and divisional resources to do that. Today is an example of how all those partners and divisions work together.' The victims within the operation will be assisted by victim navigators, who work with the charity Justice and Care. (Image: Images taken by Robert Perry, Newsquest) A victim navigator who was on hand today said: 'Today has been a police-led operation following intelligence. It has gone very smoothly. 'I believe we have potentially identified two individuals who we will speak to later on and see if we can support them.' Detailing their role further, they added: 'Our role is to support identified victims of modern slavery and human trafficking throughout their journey from the initial stages right through. 'We help them both emotionally and practically through the judicial process, meeting their basic need for food or clothes, we can arrange counselling for them or simply take them for a coffee and build up their confidence after such a traumatic incident.'

SNP Government to meet Orange Order after walk 'hit with air pellets'
A procession was passing along Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street, near to Kelvingrove Street, when the incident reportedly happened on Saturday. Police said no-one was seriously injured but condemned the 'dangerous occurrence' and said investigations were continuing. READ NEXT: 'We apologise': Latest on Glasgow City Council's cyber attack READ NEXT: 18 road safety schemes to be installed in Glasgow streets - what we know The Grand Orange Lodge of Scotland later released a statement condemning the 'alarming' suspected air weapon incident and expressing 'deep concern'. It stated: 'This reckless act has escalated the level of hostility towards the Orange Order, endangering the lives of our members. 'The Most Worthy Grand Master urgently requests a meeting with the First Minister of Scotland to address this incident and the escalating tide of anti-Protestant sentiment we face daily.' In a Scottish Government statement, Community Safety Minister Siobhian Brown confirmed that representatives would meet the Orange Order. 'It is deeply concerning that anyone would seek to attack a public march and put those taking part, as well as spectators and the wider public, at risk,' Brown said. "Ministers condemn behaviour of this kind against any individual or organisation, for which there can be no justification whatsoever. "The Scottish Government fully supports Police Scotland to take appropriate action following its investigation and will shortly meet with representatives of the Grand Orange Lodge to hear their concerns.' The Orange walks were part of celebrations for the County Grand Orange Lodge of Glasgow and Orange Lodges in Lanarkshire to remember the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Thousands of people took part in Scotland's largest city on Saturday in the biggest Orange event of the year. Elsewhere, four people were arrested following Orange Order processions in Lanarkshire on the same day. Chief Superintendent Stevie Dolan, event commander for the annual Boyne processions in Glasgow and Lanarkshire, said: 'Police in Lanarkshire made four arrests following the Orange Order procession on Saturday July 5 2025. 'The offences were primarily for breach of the peace and acts of anti-social behaviour. 'There were no arrests at the event in Glasgow, however, we are investigating an incident on Sauchiehall Street near to Kelvingrove Street in Glasgow, where four participants in the procession were struck by what was believed to be air weapon pellets. 'Thankfully, no-one was seriously injured and our enquiries into this dangerous occurrence are ongoing. 'A proportionate policing plan was in place, and we worked with a range of partners to ensure public safety and reduce disruption to the wider community. 'I would like to thank the vast majority of the participants, and the wider community, who engaged positively and behaved responsibly throughout.'

Police make move that will force wife of crime boss 'Hotdog' to 'live in tent'
Following a court order issued last week, officers moved in to close an illegal scrapyard in Great Harwood, Lancashire, where Tommy 'Hotdog' Smith's wife Mary lives Police have finally moved in to shut an illegal scrapyard site that has been subject to complaints of anti-social behaviour, fires and criminal activity for many years. Officers today attended the address in Meadow Street, Great Harwood, Lancashire, after Judge Guy Mathieson granted a full closure order, shutting down the site for three months and forcing the residents off the land. The judge rejected an appeal from Mary Smith, the wife of Tommy "Hotdog" Smith, who is currently in jail. The 48-year-old had argued that the closure would force her and her children to live in a tent. She claimed she has not had any sort of business since her husband was jailed and has had to sign on for benefits. But as reported by Lancs Live, police moved in to secure the site today, with a spokesman saying: "Our officers are at an address in Meadow Street, Great Harwood, to assist partners in facilitating a closure order issued under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. We will issue a further update in due course." Previous enforcement orders at the site have failed to stop the unlawful activity including illegal waste collection and fires. On Friday, the court order confirmed that anyone who enters the site for three months starting from July 4 risks arrest, imprisonment and or a fine. The order said: "The owner/occupier will therefore have to find alternative accommodation." The order allows more than 100 officials from the police, council, RSPCA and Environment Agency to move in for a large scale operation to secure the site and prevent occupants from accessing it. Mrs Smith argued, without providing evidence, that the order would make her homeless, but the judge decided to go ahead with it. Judge Mathieson said: "This closure order has been hanging over you for six months or more. In the event we make a full closure order, what thought processes and what plans have you put in place?" Mrs Smith replied: "Me and my daughter Indiana have bought a tent, a two-man tent. That is all." The judge asked: "You have a £1.4 million turnover and you are going to live in a tent?" She replied: "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't own any business. Sir, I think you have got it wrong. My husband has been in jail for the past seven years, I haven't had any business for at least six years. At the moment sir, I have had to sign on benefits." However, she did not provide any paperwork to the court to support her claim. Her husband was originally imprisoned for five years for possession of an illegal sawn-off shotgun in November 2018. In August 2019 he was jailed again for a further six and a half years for his role in a £1million stolen goods operation. His wife was jailed for 15 months and five other members of what was described as "an organised crime gang" were also sentenced at Preston Crown Court. The convictions followed a long and complex series of police investigations named Hewton, Runback and Redmill, carried out between 2016 and 2018. In April 2020 Mrs Smith was declared bankrupt following a petition from Hyndburn Council.
