Police Scotland have confirmed that a 41-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman who were arrested in connection with the alleged theft of a yacht from Arbroath Harbour have been charged with the theft.
They were kept in custody and are due to appear at Forfar Sheriff Court later today.
The vessel, named Osprey, had been berthed at the busy Arbroath marina prior to being reported stolen on Saturday afternoon.
The alleged theft is understood to have been discovered by the boat’s Fife owner when he arrived at the Angus facility, but discovered the vessel missing from its pontoon in the packed port.
