A 35-year-old man appeared in court yesterday accused of carrying out an armed robbery at a house in a Highland village.
Police firearms officers were called to a home in Coiltie Crescent in Drumnadrochit following the incident.
Yesterday, Ali Akguc, from London, appeared from custody in private at Inverness Sheriff Court.
He made no plea, was committed for further examination by Sheriff Margaret Neilson and remanded in custody.
He was detained in Cumbria on Monday by police probing Sunday’s night’s incident at the home of businessman Kenan Cetiner and his wife Lisa Ann in Drumnadrochit.
No one was hurt, but residents in the Loch Ness-side communities where the couple live and work were left shocked.
Mr Cetiner is a well known businessman who owns The Moorings restaurant and Canalside Chip Shop in Fort Augustus, about 19 miles from Drumnadrochit, and previously owned the Drum Takeaway in his home village.
Retailer Anthony Taylor, 36, who manages The Clansman Centre in Fort Augustus, opposite The Moorings, said: “It is a shock this has happened and you don’t expect things like that to happen, especially somewhere like Drumnadrochit.
“It is very unsettling. We hope they are all ok.”
Fiona Bentley, a neighbour of the Cetiners, said: “People are shocked because it has happened in Drumnadrochit.
“It’s usually very quiet here and everyone knows everyone. It happened two doors down from me and you don’t expect that kind of thing to happen here.”
Another neighbour, who did not want to be named, was too scared to open her door in the days after the incident because of what had happened, and said she was “still trying to come to terms with it”.
