Police Conduct Major Firearm Search in Oban for Gun Linked to Glasgow Gangland Murder

News summary

Detectives investigating the 2016 gangland murder of Euan Johnston, who was fatally shot while sitting in his car at traffic lights in Glasgow, are conducting detailed searches near Soroba Road in Oban to recover a firearm possibly linked to the killing. Although David Scott was convicted and sentenced to a minimum of 22 years for Johnston's murder in 2018, police believe more than one person was involved and the case remains open. The search involves specialist officers and national resources, with an increased police presence expected in the area for several days. Detective Superintendent Peter Sharp emphasized that time is no barrier to justice and urged anyone with information, regardless of its perceived significance, to come forward. Investigators continue to support Johnston's family during the ongoing inquiry and are committed to bringing all responsible parties to justice. The authorities have also appealed to the public, recognizing that allegiances may have changed since the crime occurred nearly nine years ago.
