iStockPolice have launched a fresh appeal for information in connection with reports of an attempted armed robbery in the north of Scotland.
On Friday, September 13, a man approached a vehicle on Lochalsh Road in Inverness and threatened the driver with what is believed to be a firearm.
The driver left the scene and there were no injuries.
Officers, including armed response, attended and a search of the area was carried out.
Inquiries are ongoing to trace the man who was wearing a dark jacket and hat, and a grey coloured scarf covering his face.
Detective Constable Pamela Dugdale said: “I’d like to reassure the public that we continue to have extra patrols in the area for reassurance and we do not believe there is any wider risk to the public.
“I ask anyone who was in the area at the time and saw what happened to come forward.
“I also ask anyone who may have dash-cam footage or private CCTV of the area at the time to please get in touch.
“If you have any information at all, please contact us.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference 3896 of September 13.
Alternatively, they can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
