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.

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.
