Two men armed with paintball guns have carried out a string of drive-by shootings across Scotland.

A total of 16 incidents were reported involving two men in a black Audi A4 shooting people on Friday afternoon.

The incidents took place in Glasgow, West Dunbartonshire and Stirlingshire, with the first incident taking place in Greendkye Street in Glasgow city centre around 1.30pm.

Following this there were further incidents in Knightswood, Bearsden, Clydebank and Stirlingshire, up until 4pm.

During the final incident, which took place on the road between Gartness and Drymen in Stirlingshire, a man suffered a facial injury.

Police are treating this incident as a serious assault. Several other people needed hospital treatment for minor injuries after the other shootings.

The black Audi A4 was found 7pm in the Croftamie area of Stirling.

The men responsible are both described as white and between 20 and 30 years old, with one having a shaved head.

Detective inspector Mark McLennan, from Drumchapel CID, said: "The behaviour of these two men was absolutely shocking and they showed complete and utter disregard for the safety of the innocent people they targeted, some of whom sustained painful injuries.

"Police Scotland will not tolerate this type of reckless conduct and extensive enquiries are underway to trace the callous individuals responsible.

"Officers are currently examining CCTV footage, conducting door to door enquiries and there will also be a forensic examination of the car that was recovered.

"I would appeal to anyone who noticed two men in a black Audi A4 driving around in one of the areas mentioned above, or who indeed may have witnessed any members of the public being targeted with a paintball gun, to please come forward.

"Anyone with information is asked to contact officers at Drumchapel CID and quote incident number 1946 of Friday, June 23 2017.

"Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where details can be given in confidence."
