Brazen cons demand McDonald’s Big Macs during bizarre protest on top of jail rubbish skip
The teenage inmates warned they would only come down from the skip if they got their fast food request
BRAZEN cons demanded Big Macs to end a bizarre three-hour demo on top of a jail rubbish skip.
The teenage inmates warned they would only come down if they got burgers.
But bosses at Polmont young offenders nick in Stirlingshire, Scotland, laughed off their ultimatum.
A source said: “They kept on about wanting a McDonald’s.
"It was bizarre. Everyone who was coming into the yard could see there was something going on.
“I don’t know what resolved it in the end but I’m not surprised they were refused the grub.”
Several inmates clambered on to the huge bin at 1pm yesterday.
The stand-off is thought to have taken place in the nick’s outdoor grounds and ended around 4pm.
It is thought at least four inmates were involved. They are all likely to be disciplined over the incident.
Another source said: “These things always involve negotiating.
“Prisoners will make a lot of demands in cases like this — but they’re never going to get McDonald’s bought for them. Anything like that would be laughed out of town.”
The Scottish Prison Service said: “There was an incident with several young offenders at HMP Polmont. It ended peacefully with no injuries.”
