COPS working at the COP26 conference have been sent HOME after posing in "sniper positions" for snaps around the site, it's reported.
With world leaders gathered in Glasgow for the two-week climate change event, police officers from around the country have been hauled to the Scottish city to help with security measures.
But pictures have since emerged of London cops in sharpshooter positions around the Scottish Event Campus arena.
A top officer was forced to send those who reportedly took and uploaded the snaps to Instagram home after reading cops the riot act, a source told the Daily Record.
Police Scotland have confirmed the force is aware of the photos and had referred officers involved "to their home force".
According to the Record's source, the chief inspector of Police Scotland had to get up at 3am to "sort it out" after the pictures of Metropolitan cops were shared.
"They have a teddy bear mascot and they take it everywhere," the insider told the outlet.
"The pictures were to show their mates where they were but it gave their location away.
