Two men have been jailed after driving a stolen sewage tanker into a call centre in South Lanarkshire.
George Nicol, 37, and David Fowler, 27, stole the slurry truck in East Kilbride before attempting to smash the HSBC ATM in Blantyre on 20 October 2012.
Police arrested the pair after the thieves crashed their getaway car. Officers also found a sawn-off shotgun and ammunition in the vehicle.
Nicol was jailed for five-and-a-half years and Fowler was given five years at the High Court in Edinburgh.
