Det Ch Insp Ricky Mason, of Strathclyde Police, said the exercise was "a worthwhile operation". | |
He added: "I am encouraged with the positive response which officers received from the 367 motorists and pedestrians they spoke to on Saturday evening. | |
"A number of those people who were interviewed have provided us with new information which will be scrutinised by officers - information which we hope will help us move forward with this inquiry." | |

Det Ch Insp Mason described this as "very significant" and said forensic teams were examining the vehicle. | |
