SUNDAY MAIL EXCLUSIVE: The force bought the Sandcat in 2021 but it's now locked up in a warehouse and hasn't been used on any operations.
Cash-strapped Police Scotland has a £200,000 crime-fighting battle tank that’s never been used and only a handful of officers are able to drive.
The Sandcat has a huge 6.7L V8 engine but only does around nine mpg – about as fuel-efficient as an F1 racing car. “For a force which is skint it’s an incomplete disgrace to have a £200,000 vehicle just sitting there losing value, when we’re struggling to have enough officers on the streets. David Threadgold, chairman of the Scottish Police Federation which represents rank and file officers, said the force had to justify why it is keeping the vehicle.
