Scott Allison and Marcus Dick died after taking drugs at SWG3 in August last year.
Glasgow 's SWG3 has been rapped by licensing bosses following the deaths of three teenagers who had been to club nights at the popular venue.
Marcus Dick became unwell while leaving the venue and was taken to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he died. The officer said it had "not been established where this person sourced drugs from". Police were told by the venue's management that if customers were found with a "small amount" of drugs and passed an "attitude test" then they were permitted entry. The drugs would be "disposed of in front of them".
Officers told staff to start implementing a "zero-tolerance approach in relation to persons attempting to enter with drugs" and make sure they are "properly logged". Following treatment on site, the woman was transported to hospital via ambulance and admitted to intensive care. She died on January 4. Police Scotland was not made aware of the incident until that date.
He said SWG3 has taken "additional security steps… to tighten up these procedures to prevent drugs getting in". It has carried out audits of its procedures for all events, getting "experts in to look at all of the main operations in the premises". Drugs were also found by security staff and police during searches at club nights on December 2, February 10, February 17 and March 9. A number of people have been charged in relation to these discoveries.
