CHARGES have been dropped against one of two people arrested after allegedly trying to enter HM Naval Base Clyde.
An Iranian man and a Romanian woman were expected to appear for a private hearing at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Monday, March 23.
However, the Crown has decided that there will be no proceedings against the woman, 31.
The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) said: "We received a report relating to a 31-year-old woman and an incident said to have occurred on March 19, 2026.
“After careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, including the available admissible evidence, the Procurator Fiscal decided that there should be no proceedings.
“The Crown reserves the right to proceed in the future should further evidence become available.”
The man, 34, has also been released from custody pending further enquiries, but a case against him remains "under consideration".
A COPFS spokesperson said: “We received a report concerning a 34-year-old man in connection with an alleged incident on March 19, 2026.
“After full and careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, he was liberated from custody pending further inquiries and did not appear in court.
“The case against him remains live and under consideration.”
