A helicopter has been circling the streets of Kilmarnock tonight.
The chopper spotted in the sky, suspected to be a police helicopter, was circling the Bellfield area from around 11.30pm.
It was above the area of the Bellfield Estate, a large wooded area behind Whatriggs Primary School, and seemed to be searching extensively as it circled the site.
