Raid on property in Milton of Campsie

Riot cop with ram device
Officers wearing tactical gear poured into the street as the convoy arrived shortly before 8am.
One cop was seen carrying a device used for battering down doors as the crack squad charged into the grounds of the property, which is connected to Green, 42.
He's the son of late Daniel gang supremo Jamie and cousin of current boss Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel, 45.
Green was also a close chum of murdered enforcer Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll.
Last night a neighbour who saw the police raid said: 'The whole thing only took 15 minutes. It was literally in and out. It was really fast.
'I don't know what that means and whether who or what they were looking for was there.'
Another local resident added: 'I was shocked to see so many cops come out of nowhere.
'They certainly looked like they meant business but it was all over pretty quickly.
"I have no idea if anyone was arrested.'
It's understood the swoop was the latest action taken by cops in their ongoing fight against hoods involved in an underworld power struggle that has been raging across the Central Belt for more than two months.

And it came weeks after we revealed that a business linked to Green was targeted in an alleged firebomb attack.
He is one of several members of the Daniel family who have been targeted during the unprecedented campaign of violence.
A garage in nearby Kirkintilloch, where he was once a director, was set ablaze last month.
And on Tuesday the home in Drumchapel, Glasgow, of his sister Kelly 'Bo' Green, 45, was torched in another arson incident.
She was partner of Gerbil, who was 29 when he was assassinated in a supermarket car park by Billy 'Buff' Paterson, 45, in 2010.
The hitman for the rival Lyons gang was later caged for at least 22 years over the killing outside an Asda in the city's Robroyston.
The current feud is being waged by a fugitive Scot dubbed 'Miami' who is said to be pulling the strings from his bolthole in Dubai.
It's claimed he is furious about being cheated in a £500,000 cocaine deal by associates of the jailed Edinburgh mobster Mark Richardson, 38 — an ally of the Daniels.
And underworld sources claim he has rejected peace talks with Bonzo, who is believed to have travelled to the United Arab Emirates.
Last night a spokesman for Police Scotland said: 'Officers executed a warrant at an address in Milton of Campsie.
"Enquiries are ongoing.'
