A Police Scotland officer is one of four people arrested and charged in an investigation by the force's anti-corruption unit.

Another man is a former officer who resigned from the force.

Police Scotland said the three men and a woman were arrested in central Scotland last Wednesday. It came after raids at properties earlier this year.

A force spokesperson said: "All four have been charged and released from custody on an undertaking to appear in court at a later date."

BBC Scotland News understands that the serving officer is currently suspended.

The other man and the woman are members of the public.
