A man has been charged over an alleged fraudulent gardening scheme worth £180,000.

It follows a series of complaints about the Aberdeen firm Gorgeous Gardens between December 2015 and February this year.

Police investigated the allegations in partnership with Trading Standards officers in the city and in Aberdeenshire.

A report is expected to be submitted to the procurator fiscal regarding the 30-year-old man who has been charged.

Detective constable Jill Anderson said: "We have worked closely with our colleagues at trading standards and our partners and would also like to thank members of the public who have assisted with our investigation so far.

"Enquiries remain ongoing and anyone with information can contact police."
