Police continue to monitor the scene at Polvanie View three days after a major incident unfolded at a block of flats.
Officers are maintaining a presence outside the homes in the Inverness community after a man was shot and arrested by police on March 31. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
On Sunday, police told the Press and Journal there was no update to the man’s status following his arrest.
Emergency services had been called to Polvanie View on Thursday and discovered a fire within the flats when they arrived.
Metal fences have since been erected around the front and sides of the building while police investigate.
Debris litters the ground beyond the fence with glass shards and pieces of roofing caused during the fire.
As the block of flats backs onto an ongoing construction site, officers have also cordoned off the back of the building with police tape.
It is believed that residents have yet to be let back into the building. The entrance to the block of flats has been boarded up and bolted closed.
There are fears that residents could be waiting months before being allowed back into their homes.
