Police have issued a warning over an apparent telephone scam which has begun to do the rounds on Arran.
Two residents on the island had calls earlier this week from unknown persons purporting to be from Inland Revenue. They claim the householder is under investigation and must give personal details or call a number to avoid arrest or large fines.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said: ‘If the Inland Revenue need to get in touch with you they will always do so by letter and would never request information over the telephone.
