A Glasgow based gym has been criticised on social media for locking a Police Scotland marked dog unit in a car park.
The marked Land Rover Discovery was pictured after being left in a parking bay for the gym. When a gym employee saw the vehicle, they locked the gate so that the dog unit could not get out.
In a tweet, @AGFitness_gla tweeted:
‘Hi PoliceScotland, you parked your car in our private parking space so I’ve locked the gate and locked yous [sic] in.
‘I’ll give you the gate code when you stop murdering people. Have a nice weekend.’

Police officers are lawfully allowed to park in any private bay when responding to an emergency or when engaged in police work.
One Twitter user said: ‘Cant believe you think this is big and clever. What a tonsil.’
Another said: ‘Oh let’s wait for them to find a parking space next time before saving someone from getting robbed or stabbed?!’
Summarising the sentiment of many, one Twitter user added:
‘Feel free to withdraw from receiving a police service, if your unit is broken into or affected by criminality they will stay away to suit your personal views great advertisement for your business.’

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger?
