Metro - You’re nicked

Summary of the front page

The Metro leads on Nicola Sturgeon’s husband Peter Murrell being arrested in a probe over the SNP party’s finances, with the couple’s home scoured by police. 

The paper features an image of blue tents and police tape outside the couple’s home in a quiet cul-de-sac in Glasgow and notes that a search of SNP HQ in Edinburgh was made at the same time. Mr Murrell, who resigned as chief executive last month, has been released without charge, pending further investigation.
