A man has been charged with several offences after he was allegedly caught driving “erratically” in Brechin.
Officers stopped a car on Southesk Street in the Angus town on Tuesday afternoon.
One passer-by reported seeing three police vans and two police cars at the scene.
He said: “There were several police officers on the street – a couple were positioned inside an alleyway just across from the Scotmid.
“They had vans and cars parked on the road making it difficult for traffic to pass.
