A Scottish oil worker has reportedly been kidnapped in Indonesia.

Engineer Malcolm Primrose, 61, was ambushed by an armed group as he travelled back from a mine site in the Aceh region, reports said.

Mr Primrose is said to work for mining company Medco E&P and was in a car with his driver when confronted by the men.

There were no indications of shots being fired, local police said.

A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said: "We are aware of an incident and are in touch with the local authorities."
