Police in Oban have made an appeal for information after reports of a woman acting in a threatening and abusive manner in a bookshop.

Police have today asked members of the public to come forward with more information.

Oban police appeal for information following threatening behaviour

The case was one of a number issued by officers as part of their weekly round-up of crime in the area.

A police spokesman said: “At 1.15pm on Wednesday December 13, at Waterstones, George Street, Oban, a female has allegedly become verbally abusive and making threats towards members of staff.

“Police are investigating this incident and appealing for witnesses.

“Anyone with information regarding this matter can contact officers on 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

It was not the only report of disorderly conduct that officers had dealt with.
