A woman has been arrested amid a police investigation into the alleged mismanagement of human remains and funds at a former funeral firm.
Police Scotland launched a probe into A Milne Independent Funeral Directors earlier this year following complaints.
Forensic officers were pictured at the company’s Glasgow branch in May. The firm also had an office in Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire.
In an update on Monday, Police Scotland confirmed officers had executed search warrants at residential properties in Springburn, Glasgow, and in Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire.
A 55-year-old woman was arrested in connection with the case and released pending further inquiry.
The force said a number of items “relevant to the inquiry” – dubbed Operation Koine – were seized as the probe continues.
