A man has been arrested after a prank announcement that a "paedophile is on the loose" was made over a supermarket Tannoy.

The incident, on Friday, May 13, took place at the Asda in upmarket Bearsden, East Dunbartonshire.

Police Scotland said a 28-year-old man had been arrested and detained in connection with an alleged breach of the peace.

"There is a paedophile on the loose. I repeat, there is a paedophile on the loose."
