SWG3 has been warned by the city's licensing board after Police Scotland reported drug search policies 'didn't appear to be fully followed' on the night of one of the events.
Two teenagers who attended events at Glasgow’s SWG3 club before their deaths had taken drugs bought in the venue, the city’s licensing board heard.
Scott Allison took unwell after leaving the event, before later dying in Monklands hospital. Friends advised police they were sold drugs in the premises and “the deceased consumed a quantity of pills believed to be ecstasy.” Bob Javaheri, operations director at SWG3, said the attitude test, which is no longer in place, had been used with “the hope of affecting change in that person.”
The licensing board ordered SWG3 must “seize, log and store drugs” to “the satisfaction of Police Scotland” and ensure a “zero-tolerance policy” is implemented “hand in hand with a harm reduction approach.” “The recurring theme throughout these reports is the stark fact that young people take drugs,” Mr Lawson added.
Drugs were also found by security staff and police during searches at club nights on December 2, February 10, February 17 and March 9. A number of people have been charged in relation to these discoveries.
