NIGHTCLUB bouncers are set to scan revellers for cocaine - by shining torches up their noses.

Doormen in Paisley will use the hi-tech spotlights to catch clubbers who have been snorting the Class A drug.

Anyone who has been taking or even handling the illegal substance will light up bright green.

Sergeant Greg Dinnie, of Strathclyde Police, said: "It is intended as a non-intrusive preventative tool.

"That then gives us the power to search people and see if they've got any further substances on them."

The £40 torch is already used by a number of UK police forces.

But door stewards in Paisley are to be the first in Scotland to trial the gadget.

Clubs involved in the scheme include Moloko, Club 69, Fury Murys, Vienna's and SOHO. Councillor Brian Lawson, Renfrewshire Council's community safety spokesman, said last night: "One of our key aims to make Renfrewshire safer is to reduce alcohol and drug misuse.

"These torches are a tactic in identifying those who are abusing drugs." Earlier this month we told how bosses at Desire nightclub in Balloch, Dunbartonshire, are smearing loos with baby oil to prevent clubbers snorting cocaine.
