DIY warehouse in gas escape scare
An area around a DIY warehouse in East Kilbride has been evacuated after a "serious gas leak".

Fire crews attended the scene of the incident at the new B&Q premises in Law Place.

The alarm was raised at about 1140 BST and police evacuated a 400m area around the building as a precaution.

Gas company Transco isolated the leak and began repairs. Police later allowed people to return to the area and all roads around the site were reopened.
