A Scalloway resident has appeared in court accused of fraudulently obtaining medication from a Lerwick pharmacy.

Alexander Forbes, 36, of the village’s Castle Street, is alleged to have pretended to a member of staff at Laing’s in Kanterstead Road that he had permission to collect a prescription on someone’s behalf.

The offence is said to have taken place on 15th February.
