Scots offenders who failed to pay court fines have been left shocked after motors were clamped and bank accounts seized.
The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) recently took action to clamp BMWs, Range Rovers and Mercedes vehicles, while bank arrestment orders up to thousands of pounds were also issued.
In one incident, a tradesman from Musselburgh, who was fined for threatening or abusive behaviour, saw his work van clamped after failing to heed warnings about an outstanding £360 fine.
