ARMED police carrying riot shields have surrounded a house in a Scottish town following a major incident.
Police rushed to Grosvenor Road in Greenock at around 10:40am on Sunday following a report of a disturbance.
Officers subsequently sealed off a section of the road between Sinclair Street and East Crawford Street. Multiple police vehicles, armed units, and uniformed officers are currently in the area, as well as several other emergency services.
A blue Audi parked on the street appeared to have sustained significant damage, with its two left passenger windows smashed.
The exact nature of the incident is yet to be determined.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We were called around 10.40am on Sunday 3 March, to a report of a disturbance in the Grosvenor Road area of Greenock.
“Officers and other emergency services are in attendance and the road is currently closed between Sinclair Street and East Crawford Street."

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
