A raid on a flat in Inverness takes a dangerous turn when officers discover not a drug den, but a makeshift laboratory filled with volatile chemicals and complex electrical circuitry. The discovery forces the police to evacuate the entire area as a matter of extreme urgency.
With a potential bomb on their hands, the local officers have no choice but to call in the army’s specialist bomb disposal team. The question is no longer just about making an arrest, but about neutralizing a threat that could have devastating consequences for the city.
Meanwhile, the vastness of the Highlands presents other critical challenges. In Glencoe, PC Stephen Cooper coordinates a desperate search against the clock for two missing hillwalkers, while in the Cairngorms, an investigation begins into a suspected shotgun attack on the nest of a protected bird of prey.
Highland Cops airs on BBC Two at 8:00 PM, Thursday 23 October.
