THREE men have been arrested in connection with an attempted burglary at the ticket office of a Glasgow subway station.
Bridge Street was locked down by officers when the alarm was raised at 1.12am and it remained shut this morning.
The trio were arrested at around 1.51am in connection with the incident and they are currently in custody.
A British Transport Police spokesman said: "British Transport Police were called to Bridge Street subway station, Glasgow, at 1.12am this morning (20 October) following reports of a burglary at the ticket office.
"Officers attended and three young men were arrested in connection at 1.51am. They have been taken to custody for questioning, where they remain.
"The station remains closed this morning while enquiries continue."
Subway bosses wrote on Twitter: "Bridge Street Station will not open this morning due to a police incident overnight.
"Both inner&outer circles are running & all other stations are open. Services will not stop at Bridge Street & the public will not be able to access. Nearest station is St Enoch."
The subway has since reopened to the public with all services restored.
