Police Scotland has apologised after a vehicle checkpoint set up on the A90 between Perth and Dundee saw drivers stuck in tailbacks as long as 3km.
Carse of Gowrie councillor Alasdair Bailey penned a letter asking chief constable of Police Scotland Sir Iain Livingstone to fully explain the purpose of the operation at Bullionfield, by Invergowrie, on June 24.
The operation saw a lane closure on the northbound side all the way back to Longforgan with 58 vehicles stopped and searched.
