A bomb disposal united was scrambled to Wick Harbour today after suspicious devices were found on board a boat.

The items were discovered during an inspection of the vessel.

An x-ray investigation was carried out but the devices are not believed to have been live.

Local reports suggest the ‘bombs’ presented no danger to local people.

Police arrived at the quayside at noon and patrolled the area for around five hours while the investigation took place.
