Last week, Oban Community Council called on officers to give them a local number to phone – because when townsfolk phoned 101, it felt no action was taken.

A spokesman for Oban police said: “A report has been submitted to the procurator fiscal after a 28-year-old driver was arrested in Oban for allegedly being in possession of cannabis, ecstasy, cocaine and a lock knife.

“He was stopped by officers on proactive patrol in George Street just after 1am on Monday morning.”
