Police are investigating an incident at a supermarket in Aberdeenshire.

Officers were called to the scene at Tesco in Inverurie around 4pm on Friday, and are thought to be making inquiries after a couple allegedly tried to snatch a young child who was at the store.

A Facebook post from a relative said: "Hi just wondered if u could make people aware that a couple just tried to lift my 3 yr old grandson outta TESCO INVERURIE about ten mins ago.

"Police have just left we don't know what they're wearing as they disappeared in a sea of people when my daughter went over to her wee boy.

"Thank god my 8 yr old grandson was there an shouted no don't go with them an that's what my daughter heard."

A police spokeswoman said she was unable to comment further as the incident was ongoing.
