Police have used a controlled response to stop a vehicle on an intelligence-led operation in Glasgow's East End. 

It is understood shots were fired at the wheels of a black car near a roundabout on Robroyston Road at around 10:55 am today. 

They say it was part of an intelligence-led operation and no-one was hurt. 

Officers used a technique called vehicle tyre deflation rounds to deflate the tyres of the car. 

Police, however, would not say what lead to the need to stop the car. 

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Around 1055 hours on Friday 30 September 2016, Police Scotland Officers carried out an intelligence-led operation in the Robroyston area of Glasgow.

"As part of the operation, vehicle tyre deflation rounds were discharged directly into vehicle tyres. This is a recognised and practiced tactic which is used specifically to disable a vehicle and was deployed in order to reduce any potential wider impact to the public and to maximise their safety. As a result, and in line with the routine procedure, this incident will be referred to PIRC for review."
