POLICE officers from the Aberdeen area will be heading south to lend their support during the Olympics.

A total of 109 officers will be making their way to the UK capital for 56 days to aid the security effort.

The deployment by Grampian Police, to support day-to-day policing, comes as it emerged hundreds more officers are being drafted in to fill the gaps left by contractors G4S.
