THE senior police officer in Helensburgh leaves her post this Friday after less than two years in the role.

Inspector Coleen Wylie, who took up the job in July 2015, is moving on to another post within Police Scotland.

No announcement on who will replace her has yet been made.

Until the new appointee is confirmed, responsibility for the area will rest with Chief Inspector Paul Robertson, the area commander for Cowal, Bute and Helensburgh.
