A West Lothian man has been left stunned after courier service Evri delivered a parcel 'straight from a crime scene'.
Cameron Boyd, from West Calder was waiting on a bundle of clothes being delivered from online clothes store ASOS.
The package finally arrived on Monday May 13 a week late and coated in a mysterious red liquid.

At first the 24-year-old thought the package was soaked in dried blood but on closer inspection realised it was paint.
The parcel had been drenched by red paint from another package on its journey from the depot to Cameron's home.
The package was placed in a bag to hide the paint when it was delivered, so Cameron wasn't aware of the damage when it was first delivered.
The clothing company has since apologised for the damage and offered the West Lothian local 20 per cent off for the inconvenience.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live on Tuesday, he said: "The package came a week late yesterday and it was wrapped in the blue Hermes bag which ASOS deliveries never normally are so I thought that was so weird.
"Then I opened it and saw it covered in that paint, and the box was drenched.
"I thought it was blood at first and totally freaked out but obviously it wasn’t.

"Luckily the clothes were fine cause they’re packaged individually! Still disgusting though and they offered me 20 per cent off my next order.
"ASOS said they were sorry which is fair enough but 20 percent off my next order is a bit rubbish, there’s 20 percent off every other day."
A spokesperson for Evri said: ""We have apologised to the customer for the condition of the parcel who recognises this is paint that’s leaked from another parcel.”
