Police have charged a 34-year-old man with a theft from 2022 following a major operation in Aberdeen city centre.
Eyewitnesses say police swooped on a yellow vehicle on Rosemount Viaduct with police “everywhere”.
The incident happened around 6pm outside Aberdeen Central Library on Tuesday.
Alongside six police vehicles and a dozen officers, police dogs were also being used at the side of the road.
The man was arrested in connection with a road traffic offence, but was subsequently charged in connection with a theft in Nigg from June 22, 2022.
Two of the vehicles are believed to have been unmarked police cars.
The incident took place outside Aberdeen Central Library on Rosemount Viaduct, opposite the entrance to Skene Terrace.
Police appeared to be searching car, while other officers managed traffic.
One eyewitness told The Press and Journal that “one man was inside one of the police cars”.
