A man has been arrested by armed police on an island in Orkney.
Officers travelled from mainland Scotland to the island of Flotta and executed a warrant at around 16:15.
A 61-year-old man was arrested in connection with threatening and abusive behaviour.
Ch Insp Scott Robertson said there is no risk to the public and inquiries into the incident are ongoing.
Three police vehicles from mainland Scotland arrived in Orkney by ferry on Thursday morning.
They were seen driving at speed with sirens and blue lights to catch a local inter- island ferry to Flotta.
Flotta is a small island with a population of around 80 people and one shop.
It lies in Scapa Flow between the larger islands of Hoy and St Margaret’s Hope and is known for its large oil terminal.
