Pub loses licence over weapons

A Glasgow pub has become the first in Scotland to be permanently shut under new liquor laws after police discovered an arsenal of 29 hidden weapons while investigating the violent death of a customer.

Knives, swords, machetes, hammers, axes and baseball bats were found in the Caven­dish Bar after the death of a 45-year-old man in January, prompting Strathclyde Police to call for a review of the venue’s licence.
