An Iranian man charged after allegedly trying to enter the Faslane naval base has been released pending further inquiries without appearing in court.
The 34-year-old was arrested at HM Naval Base Clyde near Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, at about 17:00 on Thursday.
He had been expected to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Monday – but the Crown Office said that “after full and careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case” the man had been freed pending further inquiries.
Prosecutors said the case against him was still live and under consideration – but that there would be no proceedings against a 31-year-old Romanian woman who was also arrested at the base.
