A police sniffer dog has helped uncover thousands of pounds worth of cannabis in Inverness.
Highland police officers discovered the 2.5kg haul – which has an estimated street value of between £10,000 and £15,000 – last week.
Sniffer dog, Chief, became the hero of the hour as the pooch unearthed the massive haul of drugs.
Enquiries are still ongoing since the discovery was made at a premises in Inverness on January 10.
