A MAN has been arrested for allegedly robbing a Johnstone flat...but only after his own mum called the cops when they got into an argument. 

A number of items were allegedly nicked from a property in Kilbarchan Road at around 6pm yesterday. 

Police say a man entered a home before returning to a flat he shared with his mum next door. But, the pair got into a squabble and the woman called in the cops.

She then showed them the man's alleged haul of goods. 

A 30-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident and is due to appear in Paisley Sheriff Court today.
