From a reliable source:
"About 0700 hrs on Sunday 21 March 2010 a 17 year male scaled the perimeter fence which surrounds the heliport and entered the air ambulance, no damage or property stolen from air ambulance, he then made his way across the pad and entered the police helicopter. While inside the aircraft he jettisoned both the front doors which fell to the ground causing minor damage to both doors.
Sadly the Pilot had left his life jacket within the aircraft which the male removed and made off with, the jacket contained a STASS bottle, personal locator beacon and day/night signal distress flare.
Having initially made off from the base he activated the flare and was attempting to activate the PLB without success. The Police crew of the aircraft then discovered the damage to the aircraft at which point they observed the male climbing back into the base!
The male was under the influence of drink and drugs. All stolen property was recovered albeit in a state and requiring replaced.
He was duly apprehended and kept in custody, he appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday 22 March, pled guilty to vandalism and not guilty to the theft of the life jacket. This was accepted by the court."
