On Friday, September 13, a man approached a vehicle on Lochalsh Road in Inverness and threatened the driver with what is believed to be a firearm.
The driver left the scene and there were no injuries.
Officers, including armed response, attended and a search of the area was carried out.

Inquiries are ongoing to trace the man who was wearing a dark jacket and hat, and a grey coloured scarf covering his face.
Detective Constable Pamela Dugdale said: “I’d like to reassure the public that we continue to have extra patrols in the area for reassurance and we do not believe there is any wider risk to the public.
“I ask anyone who was in the area at the time and saw what happened to come forward.
“I also ask anyone who may have dash-cam footage or private CCTV of the area at the time to please get in touch.
“If you have any information at all, please contact us.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference 3896 of September 13.
Alternatively, they can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
