Police are appealing for information after people were spotted poaching on a north-east river.
The men were “taking advantage” of lockdown restrictions, according to officers, and were believed to be using rod and line to poach for salmon without a permit.
The incident took place on the River Don, near Kemnay.
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 on 101 quoting incident number 0689 of 7 April 2020.”
