EXTRA security staff will be on duty in the Inverness Retail Park this weekend after police in the city warned of plans for an unofficial car cruise event.
It is thought the car cruise could take place on Saturday evening, and officers have warned members of the public that there could be congestion and possible delays at around that time.
Police have also warned those who will be taking part that any illegal or anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.
"We are aware that the majority of those attending these types of events are law-abiding but for those who do choose to participate in anti-social behaviour, such as speeding, wheel-spinning, revving or creating a disturbance, this type of activity will not be tolerated and drivers are warned that they could face court action or having their vehicle seized," said a police spokesman.
"The owners of the retail park, which is private property, are aware of the event and will be providing extra security on the day."
He added that there will also also be a highly visible police presence around the city as part of Operation Route.
Motorists are being warned to make sure their vehicles are roadworthy and that licences, tax and insurance are in order.
