Police have seized a luxury campervan from the mother-in-law of Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

Key Highlights :

1. Police have reportedly seized a luxury campervan from the home of Nicola Sturgeon's mother-in-law the same morning they raided the former First Minister's house.

3. The confiscation of the Niesmann + Bischoff motorhome took place at 9am, shortly after police started their search of Ms Sturgeon's and Mr Murrell's Glasgow home 50 miles away.

4. Neighbours said the high-end campervan, similar models of which can sell for around £110,000, was originally delivered to the address by two men in January 2021 and had not been moved since.

5. Mr Murrell, the SNP's former chief executive and Ms Sturgeon's husband, was arrested on Wednesday by police investigating the spending of about £600,000 that was earmarked for Scottish independence campaigning. He was released later that day without charge pending further investigation.

6. Police Scotland officers spent two days searching the couple's home and also searched the SNP's headquarters in Edinburgh.

7. The detached house in Glasgow was treated as a potential crime scene, cordoned off with police tape and with a large tent erected in the front garden.

8. Officers were seen searching through bins and examining a barbecue in the back garden.

9. The ongoing investigation has been described by SNP president Mike Russell as the party's biggest crisis in 50 years.

10. On Saturday, Ms Sturgeon spoke publicly for the first time since her husband's arrest, addressing reporters outside her home. In a short statement, she said the last few days had been "obviously difficult" and that she would "fully cooperate" with the police investigation.
