A £40,000 car which once belonged to criminals in Glasgow is now being used by the police in the fight against serious crime.

The black Q7 was seized by officers from Strathclyde police during an operation against a criminal gang in the north of the city.

The 4x4 car has now been emblazoned with the force's livery and will be used by the Gangs Task Force.

Wonder what the legalities of that are in terms of Audi warranty etc.  Must have been a fairly new machine and in good nick for plod to take it over.

That's a good point - one way of looking at it could be (playing devils advocate here) that the BiB have stolen the car...
