Bag of 'remains' found in wooded area of Alexandria

Police have launched an investigation after a bag with “possible remains” was found in West Dunbartonshire.

Officers were called to the discovery in the Arthurston Road area of Alexandria at around 9.45am on Sunday and locked down the area.

The contents of the bag are being assessed, and an investigation remains ongoing.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 9.45am on Sunday, November 2, 2025, police were made aware of a bag with possible remains found in the Arthurston Road area of Alexandria.

“The contents are being assessed and enquiries are ongoing.”

It comes weeks after human remains were discovered on Rubha Dubh, near Firkin Point, on September 13.

They were later confirmed to be the remains of Graham Wright who was allegedly killed at a flat in Glasgow’s Castlemilk.

The discovery on Sunday, November 2, is not being treated by Police Scotland as linked to Mr Wright’s death.
