The force has a reputation for amusing its followers.
The now famous previous tweet about cocaine by Sgt Bruce Crawford received nearly 4000 likes and more than 4600 re-tweets after he posted:”If you get back to your house tonight on #Skye and realise your cocaine is missing – we have it in the Police station #WeNeedAWord.”
@LochabSkyePol so Take That baddies and Prey they don't catch you…

It was later reported that a 23-year-old woman had been arrested over the ‘unclaimed missing property’ with the hashtag “we had a word.”
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland has praised the Lochaber and Skye team for their humorous use of twitter.
“We encourage individual area commands to do their own thing and raise local issues in their own way. It seems to get quite a lot of feedback. It gets the message across with humour. We do give Twitter training if needed,” she said.
@LochabSkyePol Could it be magic in Portree tonight? We think it just could be… babe…! #PartySafePortree
