THREE US federal air marshals had "sensitive documents" relating to airline security and travel plans for high-level American diplomatic staff stolen during a whisky-tasting trip to a distillery at the start of the G8 summit.
The marshals' hire car was broken into. Personal identification was also taken while the three were at the Glengoyne Distillery, Strathblane, 15 miles north of Glasgow.
The theft triggered a security alert involving Special Branch and the US secret service. Police searched fields nearby. Central Scotland Police said yesterday "a theft from a car parked at the distillery was being investigated".
The marshals, usually armed, arrived on flights bringing US State Department and White House officials and aides into Prestwick in advance of the summit at Gleneagles hotel.
No one was available for comment at the department's Washington headquarters.
A source at the Glengoyne Distillery said: "We reckon they were followed by hard-core G8 protesters. No one here can remember the last time a car was broken into in the car park."
The source said that the air marshals were stunned when they found out what was missing and "demanded a telephone and privacy while they reported to their own authorities. Special Branch were on the scene very quickly."They were red-faced . . . and it wasn't the whisky they had been sampling." |
