A dozy man has been arrested after LOCKING HIMSELF inside a works' van he allegedly broke into in Shettleston.

The 38-year-old had climbed inside the parked vehicle on Glenalmond Street on Tuesday afternoon. He was discovered kicking the van's doors from the inside as he had managed to jam them shut.

The van's owner Michael Dolan said: "We were working in a client's house and my sister was delivering some materials and noticed him kicking the doors from inside to get out.
