A man has been arrested and charged after a spate of shoplifting incidents and a number of assaults in Arbroath.
A local policing initiative in the area to target thieves saw officers carry out patrols in Arbroath town centre and work with partners and affected stores.
It followed a number of reports made between August and September this year.
The 39-year-old is scheduled to appear at Forfar Sheriff Court today.
Inspector Mahboob Ahmad said: “We will continue to carry out visible patrols in the area and anyone with information or concerns about theft from shops or stores should contact police via 101.”
