A sleepwalking woman was found wandering around an Asda store at 2.30am looking for a watermelon.

Police were called after the 23-year-old was spotted in the Garthdee supermarket in Aberdeen in the early hours of Thursday.

Officers helped the bare-footed woman - who was wearing only a nightdress - to return home, said to be about a mile and half walk away.

In an anonymous post to the Fubar News Facebook page, the woman revealed she had been woken up by a police officer in the fruit and veg aisle of the 24-hour Asda as she searched for a melon.

She said she had earlier visited a nearby Boots and a Currys store during her sleepwalk.

The grateful sleepwalker also thanked Asda staff who gave her "shoes, socks and a cup of tea" to warm her before she was taken home.

In a statement, Police Scotland said: "Police were called in relation to concerns for a female at around 2.30am at Asda Garthdee."

"She was assisted home safely."
