Police Scotland has confirmed that three women, aged 31, 34 and 42, have been arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 after a van was driven into an external fence at the Leonardo factory on Crewe Road North earlier today.
Leonardo supplies defence technology, and protesters repeatedly call on the company to stop manufacturing devices which they say are being used in Gaza.
The protesters also flew a Palestinian flag over the back of the van.
The force’s Counter Terrorism Unit are leading the investigation and enquiries are ongoing.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We are treating this as targeted, and we do not believe there is any wider threat to the public.”
“If anyone was on Crewe Road North or in the nearby supermarket carpark during the early hours of this morning and has any relevant dashcam footage or saw anything suspicious, please contact the Police on 101 quoting reference 0416 of 15 July.”
