A 56-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of illegal money lending in the south of Scotland.

It follows a joint operation by the Scottish Illegal Money Lending Unit (SIMLU) and Police Scotland in Stranraer.

A statement said their inquiries remained ongoing and a report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal.

SIMLU urged anyone with information about suspected illegal money lending, however small, to come forward.
