POLICE FILES

STAFF inside the Lorne Hotel were shocked when a large, heavy police cone and a wooden block came flying through the window after closing time last Wednesday.

The incident at 12.05am is being investigated by police in Oban.

A large window was damaged during the incident.

Police Constable Fraser Anderson, who is in charge of the investigation, would like anyone with information to come forward.

A man, who was seen running away from the scene by staff, is described as wearing a white hooded top and dark trousers.

TWO MEN at the Tiree Music Festival were given fixed penalties for public order offences during the event last weekend.

Police said the festival was, on the whole, good-humoured.
