A man has been charged with firearms and explosives offences after a raid in Glasgow which saw residents evacuated.
Broomhill Drive in the city's west end was closed off on Thursday after items were found by police during a search, and some properties were evacuated.
Shazad Khan, 50, faced charges under the Explosive Substances Act, the Firearms Act and Misuse of Drugs Act when he appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Friday.
He did not enter a plea and was committed for further examination and remanded in custody.

Police Scotland said on Friday morning that most of the evacuated residents have now been allowed to return home.
A council spokeswoman said: “Twenty-six residents visited our rest centre set up in Partick Burgh Hall last night. Three were provided with emergency accommodation whilst the others made alternative arrangements.
“An emergency rest centre will be set up at our Partick social work office – 35 Church Street – this morning where displaced residents will be supported by Health and Social Care Partnership officers.
“We will continue to liaise with Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and will respond to any developments appropriately.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
