A man has been arrested after armed police responded to the theft of a car in Aberdeen.
It’s understood specialist officers were working in the Cove Bay area after the vehicle was taken from Bankhead Avenue in Bucksburn at around 10am.
The car was later tracked down and stopped on Ellon Road in Bridge of Don, where police arrested a 33-year-old man “in connection with numerous offences”.
It’s unclear what the offences are and how armed police searches in the Cove Bay area are linked to the Bucksburn theft.
