Police are on the hunt for poachers ignoring the coronavirus travel restrictions to fish for salmon on the River Don.
Investigating officers said they have received reports of poaching on the river near Kemnay, Aberdeenshire.
The men are believed to be using rod and line to fish for salmon without a permit.
Special constable Mike Flaherty said: “We believe these men may be taking advantage of our rivers being quieter than normal due to the restrictions on travel caused by the coronavirus outbreak.
“I would appeal to local residents who see anyone fishing at the current time to report this to police.”
